Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

I was just on Central High School's website. Pretty cool.

Why don't they have a track or cross country team?

That's a great question that I'm going to look into. High school track and cross country isn't much to write home about in Arkansas...ironic because of our success at the collegiate level.

Rob, I did some digging and it appears that LR Central High does have both boys and girls track and cross country. At least the school's AD has declared for these sports throught the Arkansas Athletic Association.

I just noticed that they had sports schedules listed for everything but those two. Good detective work.

I know that there are some areas of the South where running is considered an offbeat activity. I used to go running in my mom's hometown of Ripley Mississippi and i'd get lots of puzzled looks.
