Runner Crawls to Finish to Win Title for Her Ailing Coach

From the New York Times:
A top runner who hits the wall. A coach with a cruel illness. A state championship at stake.
Such was the situation last Saturday when Holland Reynolds, a star runner from a small private high school in San Francisco, collapsed at the state cross-country meet and crawled across the finish line to clinch the championship for her team.
She finished in 37th place, with a time of 20 minutes 15 seconds, giving University the title it would not have won without her struggle over the line.
