The Guest Stars of
"Up The Down Steroid"
by Wild Willie Westwood
Special Olympics Host, Coaches, and Two Volunteers
The volunteers and coaches track the athletes' progress and urge them to do better. The volunteer second to right mans the registration table, the other handles track events like hurdles and runs. The javelin and jump coaches are field coaches. The field coach is impresses that Jimmy is doing so well and that he's looking bigger and stronger than before. The host begins the games, and ends them with medal presentations.
Nathan, Nancy, Francis
Michael and his parents
Nathan has a husky voice, and he's the one who gives the steroids to Jimmy. Nancy is Jimmy's girlfriend. She wears a navel ring. She's in Jimmy's class, so we might see her in Mr. Garrison's class from time to time. Jimmy met her a week before beating her up in a steroid rage, but recognized his sin when giving back his medal. Will the other girls begin wearing navel rings and lipstick? Only time will tell. Franics is just an athlete Jimmy says hi to. Michael and his parents arrive to sign in.
Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, and Jason Giambi.
These three give the first place medal to Jimmy. Their appearance here is significant because McGuire and Bonds have been involved with steroids, while Giambi has been suspected of trafficking in steroids, if not using them.
