an unlikely team, a challenging season, and chasing the American dream
Running to Glory, by veteran journalist Sam McManis, follows the cross country team from Eisenhower High in Yakima, Washington, through a tumultuous and challenging season with excitement, suspense and pathos. The runners from Eisenhower High School had every possible justification to fail; they were poor, with little time to devote to their passion, and they had problems at home and distractions that would test even Job. Yet they gave their quest for the Washington State cross country championship everything they had.
