Two weeks later, a track and field competition was held in Oakland.
This was only the second official race Philip had participated in, but he was no longer an unknown and obscure contestant anymore. Although most people had never seen him before, they had heard of his name, and they knew that he had broken a world record two weeks ago. Most of all, they knew that Philip, as a T43 class para-athlete, was faster than para-athletes in the T44 class.
"That person should be Barron Philip, right? I heard that this rookie broke a world record in Seattle."
"He doesn't look all that young, he must be at least 25 or 26, right?"
"I heard that this Barron Philip has been to Iraq, he probably lost both his legs there."
