“We warmed up on the Hollister trail in the dark and then we just pop out into these lights. There were thousands of people there. It was everyone that I knew. It was like a dream. There’s my mom. There’s my best friend. There are my teammates. It’s like I walked into a dream. It was like a quidditch match and kind of what it felt like – walking out of the Forbidden forest and into a quidditch match. It was nuts..If you were there, it was magic. It was a hometown crowd. The only way it gets better is if I go to my old high school and invite my friends to come watch me break the American record on my high school track.” – Woody Kincaid
