![Run Like The Wind! Maddox Murry (8th) runs at a cross country meet on September 25. He ran his hardest, and just locked in, just like at every meet. “My brain just stops and my body just operates itself and somehow navigates [itself] like autopilot,” Murry said.](https://mmsrewind.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-02-26-11.35.51-AM.png)
Should you make a shiny dirt ball? Hikaru Dorodango is a traditional Japanese art that was popularized by school children in Japan. This art form takes time and patience, and when completed, it shows dedication and effort. It is made by getting clean dirt and water and shaping it into a ball. After that, you should get a cup or shot glass and smooth it into a perfect ball, then polish it with olive oil until it is shiny. This took me a whole weekend to make, but the end result is amazing.
