Great story

The story had great background information about the track star. There were actualities from the family along with friends to make the story more personal to the listener. The story was truly inspiring about overcoming obstacles to achieve your ultimate goal, in this case going to college. The announcer did a great job narrating the story smoothly and thoroughly throughout.

  • Summary: "I visualize the race. All I’m thinking about is just silence. Dead silence. "Then the gun goes off. I'm just trying to get to the finish line as quick as possible." Christapherson Grant's life revolves around track. Since he was a high school freshman, his dream was to win a Washington state championship in track. This year, he achieved his dream, but he had to jump over a lot more than track hurdles to get there.
