16-year-old Holland Reynolds want her high school team to win the California cross-country state championship for her coach, who is suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.
She collapses three yards short of the finish line...then crawls across to give her team (and her coach) the championship.
Ann Althouse questions whether we should celebrate a kid pushing herself like this. Ann is correct, but she (and I) agree that the video is touching.

Holland Reynold's courage and determination to finish the race not just for herself, but for her team and her ailing long-time coach speak volumes and is an epitome of the type of young men and women that have run over the decades under Jim Tracy's instruction.
Hopefully, we can be just as supportive of Jim off the course in his battle against ALS. He will need significant financial support in the coming days. If you want to contribute or just learn more, please visit http://coachjimtracy.com/
