This still gives me chills when i read it :D For several minutes Friday, Cody Osterhouse was getting the rock-star treatment. Heck, with his long, curly, blond locks of hair, the Portage Northern junior even looked the part of a 1970s or 80s celebrity. Think Willie Aames, who played Tommy Bradford on the show, Eight is Enough. My dad says, ‘As long as its not in your eyes, its fine with me, said Osterhouse, who had no trouble keeping his sights set on the lead pack in the 1,600-meter run before overtaking it for a surprising victory at the Division 1 track and field regional at Jenison High School. I just tried to stay right behind the (lead pack), just drop right off em, stay right on their shoulders, said Osterhouse, who was greeted by teammates and well-wishers - in person and on Huskies assistant coach Tony Moons cell phone - after he posted a 4:28.19 time that shattered his personal best by 10 seconds. We were pretty excited for him. Hes a good kid, Moon said. With about 300 meters left in his race, Osterhouses coach told him to start picking it up. (You) just start going as fast as you can, said Osterhouse, who immediately after the races completion looked to the sky and unleashed a shout that mightve made an 80s rock singer jealous. Osterhouses performance on a cool night at David McKenzie Stadium, which remained mostly dry until rain began pouring down in the final event, qualifies him for the Division 1 state finals on May 30 at East Kentwood.
