Holland Reynolds, a junior high school cross-country runner in California, collapsed just feet away from the finish line at the state cross country championship. She finished the race by crawling past the finish line, securing the state championship for her team.
"By the 2 1/2 mile mark I really didn't feel as great as I should have," Reynolds said. "My leg started to feel really, really heavy. I was going to try and get right up behind the girl in first place, but I felt like I couldn't run fast anymore."
