Claudia Clarke and Sika Henry are not only track teammates, they are also roommates. They share mugs, cups, paper towels, and secrets. Unfortunately, I cannot put you down on some of the secrets they have let me in on because of our confidentiality clause, but they are two interesting people. Clark and Henry are speedsters when sprinting, but also sisters (in the African-American slang definition of the word). Clarke and Henry caught up to me after I cracked a dirty joke and promptly chastised me for making them pee in their pants, so of course seven questions followed.



1. Sika, your nickname is Bird; what is yours Claudia, and why?

Claud: My nickname, regrettably so is "Plumber," because I tend to have "plumber's issues" or a "plumb bum" in jeans :O( (ya know, the crack and such)



2. Sika, you are 5'9'', Claudia, you are almost 5'2''; do you ever try trick handoffs on relays like having Claudia run between Sika's legs?

Sika: No, but I bet you wouldn't mind trying out that position.



3. You two are roommates; describe the ambiance.

Both: We're both fired up about running track, and we get each other psyched up before meets.

Sika: We have a mild obsession with track athletes that are 20 times better than us!

Claud: I love having my close friend and teammate as a roomie, we have a lot of fun together.



>4. How do you two feel after those intense track workouts?

Sika: Usually like shit, I'm all light-headed.

Claud: Like I'm stoned and out of it; I feel like I just took a rip from a bong-like the one I saw in your room, Ell!



5. Sika, I sat next to you in Astronomy last semester; why are you such a nerd by attending every class and Claudia, why didn't you go and take notes for me?

Sika: So my GPA will always be higher than yours, Elliott.

Claud: Because I have better things to with my time! That was a stupid question (but I still have Big Ell love, I understand it's late)



6. Would either of you two date Andy Katzenberg, host of Jumbo Love Match? Why or why not?

Sika: Hmm, he so hot! But sorry, I'm too tall for Andy!

Claud: Good question, Andy is quite the dreamboat. But I actually may be too tall for him also.



7. Why are you two always wearing pajamas?

Claud: Why do you walk around Miller with your shirt off? So nast. (an abbreviation we like to use for "nasty")

Sika: Hey, at least ours is sexy.
