Overview



Destined to be a cult classic.

As the first running boom was sprouting in the early 1970's, a group of Kentucky teenagers were brought together by a young coach who was ahead of his time. Cross country was regarded as a sport for the slightly odd and unathletic, a means of "getting an easy varsity letter".

Overview



Destined to be a cult classic.

As the first running boom was sprouting in the early 1970's, a group of Kentucky teenagers were brought together by a young coach who was ahead of his time. Cross country was regarded as a sport for the slightly odd and unathletic, a means of "getting an easy varsity letter". Among this group of runners was a particularly odd (though strangely athletic) teenager who was taken in by the joy of running over the grass, hills, and mud of cross country courses. The coach and seasonally growing team rose to dominance of Kentucky cross country in the span of four short years. Along the way, they "learned the lessons every runner has to learn, mostly the hard way, many of them twice." From humble backgrounds and with guidance from a ground breaking coach, the Lloyd Memorial High School Juggernauts led the way for high schools in Northern Kentucky to win State Championships for over thirty consecutive years. This is that story.

    Runauthor (runner-author) provides insight into high school cross-country running

    Enjoyed the heck out of this book. It provides a true look into the pureness of high school cross-country: the commitment, the camaraderie, the caring, the competition, the capers, and the coach. Steve Adkisson descriptively captures the sentiment and the experience of a group of developing runners and follows them through his 4 years of high school, guided by a coach who knew how to achieve the best effort from each runner. The runauthor (runner-author) provides a very enjoyable recounting of high school experiences that gives us insight into his thoughts about learning, running, friendships, mental toughness, overcoming adversity, and competing at a high level.

    wonderful book

    This is a wonderful book that has it's main focus about running cross country and the training, team building, and competition involved in that. However, it is definately not a "how to" book. It has many short stories about the main characters which are woven throughout the book. This book brings you right in with some very special teenage boys as they grow and mature and compete. You will not want to stop reading once you start. I would recommend this book for anyone who would like to get a better understanding of teenage boys, cross country running, or anyone who would like to have some fun reading.
