YaY for Gay! As Aretha would say Honey you are “Young Gifted and Black…. And that a fact!”

Whoop whoop!

When I was in high school, there were kids named Gay, Butts, and of course me, Dix!
Too bad, we didn’t all become lawyers and open a practice together.

He’s looking good in 200m preliminary round tonight so I think he’ll do it again tomorrow night for another GOLD.
