I had on my team a girl who at age twelve just missed the world mile record for her age group. But at 20 she just couldn't run.
Gerry LindgrenI just wanted to quit running. My coach, Tracy Walters, took me aside and told me that I had an opportunity few people ever get. He said that I could inspire the whole team because I was so small and unathletic.
Gerry LindgrenI thought perhaps people with injuries could be subject to a starters gun to cure them.
