"On the 4 x 100 relay I dropped the baton on the exchange," said Schoffman.  First time ever. My teammate Roger Pierce is yelling at me to pick it up. I go to pick it up and I kick it even further. Just like Bill Cosby's comedy bit. Finally I get it picked up Our commanding lead is gone, and I salvage a 3rd.

"Roger told he had the baton in my hand but my hand wasn't opened very far. Then it hit me I have Duputren's contracture in my left hand which keeps me from opening my hand all the way. The joys and challenges on being a master athlete. I'm having surgery this fall to correct the problem."
