Before heading out for the Bejing Olympics last year, legendary distance Coach Joe Vigil took time our of his busy schedule to watch The Long Green Line. He said this about it:

“Everyone in America who loves distance running should see The Long Green Line. It is a fascinating document which vividley portrays the influence one person can have on so many. It displays the passion, integrity, compassion and leadership it took to develop the top high school cross country program in America. It shows the love that he [Joe Newton] had for all his runners from the state champions to number 200 in the pecking order. He reached them all.”
