High School track team had just

Doc wasn't referring just to the

mind Central's fortunes in its an

coached track at Central from

really worked. And they can take
a defeat, laugh it off and come
back for the next race. I think
that recovery means everything. .

always been one to underestimate
himself. But he's been building
