Being labeled as one of the best and fastest long distance runner,
Kayla Montgomery's success was truly remarkable. But what makes her success more inspiring is the story behind her success.
Every time Kayla finishes a race her coach Patrick Cromwell is waiting for her at the end of the finish line. Her coach is there to catch because every time she finishes a race she collapses at the end.
Kayla was suffering from a disease MS, Multiple sclerosis where her nervous system attacks that results to problems with her motor coordination and movement.
As her body heat rises from normal, she starts feeling numb from her toes up causing her to collapse. But when her temperature goes back to normal she will feel her toes and legs back.
Kayla started as an average student who wanted to be a part of the varsity. But as she progresses she went from being average to the fastest runner in the North Carolina.
It was not easy for her because she cannot feel her toes and legs until she learned how to pace with the others.
On the last race of her high school life Kayla was caught up with the crowd and stumbled. But she got back on her feet and finished 1st place. Her Coach never left her, he is always there to catch her after every race.
Kayla's story was uploaded by SportsWriter100 as one of the best sports stories. It gained 5 million views since it was upload on Youtube.
