The Track and Me

The Track and Me

And I was broken. I still am. However you have to learn to not cut yourself on the edges. Life goes on whether you want it to or not. I know that and it's still a struggle. It's a struggle that I'm willing to go through to get to the end of the race.- Carrie, The Track and Me

Get up

Come on, Carrie. Get it together.

You can do this.

Carrie Ryan loved to run. After losing both her parents in an accident her freshman year of high school, running was her escape. She ran to escape, not for sport.

Coach Burns loved to teach his students the value of track. However, he loved the student's talents. More than that he loved raw talent.

Jake Stanley was the best runner on West High's track team. He was also in the top ten of the runners in the state of Tennessee. He was good but was someone better?

What happens when Carrie's talent is discovered by her high school coach? What happens when Jake finds out maybe he isn't the best? Find out in The Track and Me.
