Description
The book centers on the University of Colorado's men's cross country team. Most of the story, however, is focused on coach
Mark Wetmore, risk-taker Chris Severy, and
Adam Goucher, the team's top runner and one of the best cross-country runners in the nation. The story is written in a
journal fashion, each chapter representing a different entry. Each entry discusses the team's run for the day. Lear also includes information about Wetmore's training methods, based on those of
Arthur Lydiard.
Since the 1998 season, the Buffaloes have won the men's NCAA Division I cross country championship five times.
