He is rated among the top five high school students running the 1500 meter race nationwide and ex­ pects to participate in the 1988 Olympics.

See what happens when these two excep­ tionally gifted athletes from two totally differ­ ent worlds compete with one another in a range of athletic con­ tests. And find out more about each one of them through our photo stories on Pages Six and Seven.

The attitudes and friendliness of the marathon Park to bring these two many sit-ups each could do runners impressed Gerald so much that he knew he "super stars" together. in a minute, and a basket­ wanted to be a runner. The events were very ball free throw tournament "They were so serious and dedicated about their run­ ning. At first I wondered why. And I was determined to find out. Now I know why their love for running was so strong," he explained. After three years at Lindblom, Gerald transferred to Kenwood in order to run with the fourth-rated track team in the state. As a runner, Gerald's main concern is staying healthy. His summer track coach, Ed Gernstein, feels that as long as Gerald remains healthy and continues to de­ velop as he did last summer, he has a good chance of making it to Korea for the 1988 Olympics. His other athletic interests include tennis and skate­ boarding. In 1982, he was captain and choreographer of an amateur skateboard team that performed in parades, amusement parks and at Park District-sponsored shows. In his spare time, Gerald hides out in his bed­ room, where he enjoys writing poetry. Gerald hasn't yet decided which of the four schools that have offered him scholarships he will attend. He hopes, however, to better his personal record in the 1500 meter run of 3:56.2 by working with a top track coach at the university level. He also hopes to become so established as an inter­ national athlete in the next five years that he can market his success the way professional athletes and Olympic winners are doing today. In preparation for that he plans to take business courses in college - when he's not running.
