Coach Everhart’s Quote:

“There is some debate among Kohler’s teammates about whether he qualifies for this award.We may need further testing to determine whether Joey is fully human, or, as some suspicion, partially ‘cyborg’. His endurance surpasses anything we’ve seen from a freshman since record-holders like Ben Ingle and Jim Wiggin. Keep your eye on Joe. He will leave a track legacy at Tyrone.”
