“We’re back!” Minty Fresh exclaimed as they received their bronze among the rest of their teammates. “We’re back at last!” With their medal, the Minty Maniacs had risen from last to 13th overall.
“This is just the first of so much to come,” promised Minty Swirl, adding, “We’re in Mint Condition!”
The rest of the team joined in, repeating “Mint Condition” as their fans began cheering along.
Meanwhile, Red Eye and Speedy were grinning at each other. “Well played.” The Crimson Cat commented to their Marbula One rival with a wink, “But my team is winning next year.”
The Speeder glanced at the Cat’s Eye, smiling as well, with their medal glinting in the light. “Best of luck to you,” said Speedy, “but we’re planning to keep up this streak.”
Far from the podium finishers sat former relay winners, the Green Ducks, taking in their last place. “I don’t know what happened.” Ducky started.
“Our handoffs were rough,” Billy continued, sighing. “But I think we’re just having an off day. We’ll be back up there soon. “
“We’re going to fly up the standings like the flock we are,” added Mallard.
The Ducks rolled away, talking about strategies for next time. Meanwhile, the podium finishers started to chant each other’s cheers in celebration of another great race, motioning to their fans to join in.
