Smith-Cotton High School senior Jorge Contreras has accepted an athletic scholarship to run cross country and track for State Fair Community College in Sedalia.
Seth Goldstein was "feeling pretty good" halfway through his recent cross country race, as the senior from Cooper Yeshiva High in Memphis,Tenn. was edging toward the front of the pack.
But then something unusual happened. One of the runners he was closing in on collapsed. As the other runners kept going, Goldstein stopped to check on his competitor.
