The Curious Case of Hobbs Kessler!! What Allows Some Runners To Be Faster Than Others? Do Cross-country Runners Make The Best Students? Do Coaches Yell to Motivate In Track? Choosing the Rabbit?

The Best Paragraph I've Read: Welcome to the curious case of Hobbs Kessler. As the school days wind down to a precious few, this is not how Kessler imagined his senior year would have gone. “I thought I would be rock climbing a lot more and spending time doing that,” he said. “Just running cross-country just for fun, as a social outlet.” A social outlet? Then why is the Ann Arbor Skyline sensation scheduled to be in Portland, Oregon, this weekend to run in a 1,500-meter race, attempting to reach the qualifying standard for the upcoming Olympic Trials? And how did he anchor the winning leg of last week’s Division 1 regional 3,200-meter relay and also leave with first-place finishes in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 races? This paragraph comes from an article in the Detroit Free Press.  The article is titled: The best high school distance runner ever is from Michigan.  You'll never guess his first love."  The article is written by Mick McCabe.  You can read the article here: https://www.freep.com/story/sports/high-school/2021/05/28/ann-arbor-skyline-hobbs-kessler-national-high-school-record-mile-run/7449607002/?gnt-cfr=1 Zac and Don talk about the great high school runner Hobbs Kessler.  They also talk about elite running and what allows some runners to be better than others.
