It’s not about speed andgold medals. It’s about refusing to be stopped. You might find that one particular direction proves difficult, butthere are many directions on a compass. Infinite, in fact. As long as you keep searching, you’ll find your way.”- Amby BurfootCTC | P.O. BOX 495 | Charlottesville, VA 22902 | info@charlottesvilletrackclub.org | www.charlottesvilletrackclub.org
