Elijah deserves the recognition. But in the 4X800 on Saturday, thinking he was assured of a win, he threw his hands up as if to break the "imaginary tape" at the finish line, only to lose to St. Anthony's by a fraction of a second. Tough break....for the team...and certainly should not over shadow his individual accomplishments, but did not go unnoticed by the fans.
