The Lonely Distance Runner

Dan Dry

Courier-Journal & Louisville Times

B.J. Hinkle had run over 1700 miles during the summer. All he wanted was to win the State High School Cross Country Championship. When school started in the fall, Hinkle found out there wouldn't be a cross country team, and that meant training by himself. Hinkle couldn't run at school and didn't have a coach.
