Featured Story
Meet Kristen Holding
Kristen Holding is a high school track champion, setting records and winning awards. Every athlete has to battle injuries to compete, but Kristen has had more than the usual share; season after season, she has pushed through the pain of bone problems, staph infections, pleurisy, nerve injuries, and more. Whether she's setting a record or a personal best, or whether she's the last runner on the track, she refuses to quit or to let her performance--good or bad--define her. She says, "Winning means never losing my sense of self because who I am does not rely on accomplishments.... Winning is fighting until you have no fight left... and then fighting some more."
