Josh Ripley of Minnesota

I just read a news piece that made my day, er, evening.

This kid is running a three mile high school cross-country race when he notices a member of the opposing team down and bleeding at the side of the road. They’re some distance from where all the coaches are waiting and the injured kid has a to-the-bone hole in his ankle from an accidental spiking.

So Josh Ripley picks up the injured runner and carries him ½ mile to get him to where he can be helped. Josh has enough blood on him that the other runners think he’s the one with an injury, but he goes ahead and finishes the race even though he's totally out of the money.

I say he won the real race that day. He deserves to be just a little famous; hence, the title of this post.
