Joined by first year runner Scott "The Animal" Longley the year takes an unexpected turn as this most unlikely hero leads them on a quest for a state title. There was little to suggest that the new kid from the special education classroom was a runner when he showed up on the first day of practice, but Scott was determined to try. Somehow he had come to believe that if he worked hard enough he would earn a spot on one of the most successful cross country eteams in the state of Wisconsin. Surrounded by a group of serious and dedicated runners "The Animal" set out to prove his case. Driven by his incredible enthusiasm and never ending optimism the '85 season became a voyage of discovery for Scott, his coach, and his teammates as they worked to assemble a competitive team from a jumble of spare parts. Told from the perspective of a young coach this is a book about running, competing, and team building, but at its center this is the story of a young man with physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities who loved to run, loved to compete, and most of all loved being part of a team" -- $c from dust jacket flap. 600 10 $a Behnke, Donn. 600 10 $a Longley, Scott. 610 20 $a Stevens Point Area Senior High (Stevens Point, Wis.) $x Sports. 650 0 $a Coaches (Athletics) $z Stevens Point. $z Stevens Point. 650 0 $a High school athletes $z Stevens Point. $z Stevens Point. 650 0 $a Cross-country running $z Stevens Point. $z Stevens Point. 650 0 $a Cross-country running $x Coaching $z Stevens Point. $z Stevens Point. 941 $a 5 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012014053.0 952 $l DHPB993 $d 20180727010441.0 952 $l YYPC162 $d 20170328022014.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20161223010631.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20160823085410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C66377C4650B11E6BA021E8ADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
