Unwilling to see her brother relegated to the sidelines in his wheelchair, a high school cross-country runner takes part in school races pushing him around the course. The pair are not officially recognized as legitimate competitors, but that doesn’t stop them from crossing the finish line as winners every time.
Teens Jeffrey and Susan Bergeman are both freshmen at Chippewa Falls High School, Wisconsin, the same school that their parents attended. Recently, 14-year-old Susan crossed the finish line of the 5K Big Rivers Conference Championships meet in Eau Claire with her 15-year-old brother in just 31 minutes. It was the last race of the season and their personal best finish time.
