Paralympic Runner visits Tars' cross country teams
As a special treat Paralympic runner Tim Willis worked out with the team. Willis, who is blind, is able to run competitively due in large part to his high school coach, who came up with the idea of using a shoestring to link Willis with a guide runner to escort him through the uneven terrain of cross country running. Willis, 25, won four medals at the 1996 paralympics in Atlanta.
