On Saturday, a former University of Texas runner chose to illegally bandit the UIL Class 6A high school XC state championship and finished second.
The UIL told MileSplit afterward that it was reporting the runner to local police.

At the 1928 Olympics, women ran the 800m for the 1st time.
After the race, reporters wrote stories of women collapsing in utter exhaustion with half the field dropping out.
None of that occured.
The 800 was eliminated for 32 years. Stories are powerful. https://t.co/IKW0Z0r34Q
Most of progress comes from doing the boring work consistently over the long haul.
Progress is small and takes time.
Every once in a while, when you are on the plateau you need to take a big swing to get you out of the groove you're in. To do what I call a perspective changer.
ELECTRIC. HARD WORK + TEAM WORK = NATIONAL RECORDS.
