During my senior year at York Community High School, a couple of former students made a documentary about a man who is a living legend at our school and around the world. Joe Newton is the Cross Country coach that has led the York Team to state victories in 25 out of his more than 50 years coaching.
Along with Coach Newton, the documentary follows the 2005 Cross Country team and Assistant Coach Charlie Kern. Mr. Kern has made a very important influence in my life and the lives of so many others and I am very grateful to have got to learn so much from him. Below is one of his many little stories that really get you thinking. It is featured in the film The Long Green Line.
