Good news for MVRHS harriers in season opener
Martha's Vineyard Times
Here's the kicker: Silva threw a shoe halfway into the race, took off the other shoe and ran barefoot the rest of the way in his first high school meet.

****************

One of the feel-good stories involved freshman Daniel da Silva, who finished seventh in a freshman field that included crème de la crème teams like Bishop Feehan and Shepherd Hill.

Here’s the kicker: Silva threw a shoe halfway into the race, took off the other shoe, and ran barefoot the rest of the way in his first high school meet.

He crossed the finish line holding both shoes. “The last part of the race was kind of a blur. Losing a shoe kind of messed up my form a little, or I might have finished higher,” he told the Times after his jaunt.
