Here’s an oldie but a goodie, a great article about legendary Coach Joe Newton from 
October 11, 2006. It gives a good run down of Newton’s greatest accomplishments like these tidbits:
- He has sent 130 athletes to colleges on either track or cross country scholarships. Thirteen of them were competing at colleges across the country in the same year.
- He ran every day (20 miles per week) for 21 years and 24 days before a stress fracture under his knee ended the streak at age 65. The world record is 25 years.
