Run Johnny, Run

Just days after his unexpected dismissal as the head track and field coach at the University of Minnesota, Ralph Dexter found himself lost in thought in a quiet caf? in South Dakota. On his way to Texas to seek solace with his best friend, the head coach at the University of Texas in Austin, Ralph's self-pity was interrupted by an astonishing sight.

Outside the caf? window, he watched in awe as a young Native American boy dashed with uncanny speed to rescue a girl in danger. The townspeople revered the boy for his heroics and compassion, but Ralph was transfixed by something else - the boy's extraordinary running prowess. In his esteemed career, Ralph had witnessed some of the world's most elite athletes, yet never someone with such natural talent.

In a twist of fate, a recently ousted track and field coach stumbles upon a prodigious talent. The question remains: Can Ralph harness this serendipitous encounter into an opportunity for both of them?
