Connor Callihan, a junior at Roberson High School in Asheville, North Carolina, was steps from the finish line at a cross-country meet Monday when he felt his leg snap. Callihan -- broken tibia or not -- wasn't going to just lie there and let the competition pass him. So he crawled several feet before finally, improbably, crossing the finish line.
"I have to finish. I'm doing this for my team," Callihan told Asheville's News 13 in this video:
Something tells us that attitude will help Callihan recover ahead of schedule.
