         (NORWALK, Ca.) – This was the biggest mismatch since the Christians faced the lions.
         All others in this battle arrived on two legs; German Fernandez arrived on two pistons. The mere mortals entered battle with lean chest cavities that expelled oxygen; Fernandez with a fuselage that spewed rocket fuel. Others tested the laws of lactate threshold; Fernandez embarrassed the laws of logic.
         In a matter of seconds, the thin Riverbank High School senior separated himself from the ‘Fleet’ feet (Mac Fleet) and the Foot Locker finalists. In a matter of laps, he distanced himself from the ultra-focused and the overtly aggressive. And in a matter of minutes, thrust himself from message board speculation to meta-historic sensation.
4:00.29 for 1600 meters. 8:34.23 for 3200 meters. Just 0:00.00 needed to sum it up.
         Let’s say it all together now, everyone…
         Greatest … high school … distance double … ever.
