The coach who created a Florida distance-running dynasty, the rise of a friendly rival, and the fleet-footed antagonist who flamed out too fast.
In sports, perfection is rarely reached. The nature of competition is that it is messy: Shots are missed, interceptions thrown. In cross country, perfection is possible in team scoring: the perfect 15.
That moment occurs in dual meets with some regularity; it rarely happens in championship races. For Largo in 1983, it happened two consecutive weeks. This is the story behind the show's cover image, along with stories about the results, cultural changes of the 1980s, and the 1984 Largo-Leto trip to Wet N Wild.
