Cross Country Journal

A Coach's Historical Novel

On Course
By John Kern
$16.00

Calling on his experience as the long-time coach at Pattonville (MO) High School, John Kern personalizes the "Foxwood" Cross Country team as they race the state meet, and recall the key experiences that got them there. Then he picks up the lives of the team members 15 years later as they call upon Cross Country memories and teammates to help them through life struggles.

Kern dedicates this book, in part, to the most loyal of fans, Cross Country parents, who "put up with nasty weather, and often nasty-tempered offspring...who lend their support despite questioning the sanity of their runner children..."

On Course demonstrates to young runners how strong friendships can develop on a team, and rekindles in older runners bonds that can last forever.
