The two do a loop that passes by Mora's residence. Then Llamas runs the final mile back to his home alone. The direction of the loop does not figure to change because of Llamas' difficulty in waking up early. Mora usually has to go to Llamas' room and shake him to wake up. ``I'm usually half awake when he comes by,'' Llamas said. The arrangement is fine by Llamas, who isn't ready to take on the responsibility of meeting at Mora's house. ``I'd be waiting for him at 7 in the morning and I'd probably be waiting and waiting until 9 and wonder, 'Where is he?,' '' Mora said. --Thompson honored: Former Saugus cross country and track coach Pam Thompson has been inducted into the school's hall of fame. Thompson won the Southern Section 3-A Division 3,200-meter title and holds Saugus' school record in the event at 10:35.80. She coached the Saugus boys' cross country team to the 1997 Southern Section Division II title and to third in the 1998 state Division II championships.
