Re: High School Runner Breaks Tibia & Fibia and then Crawls Final 45 F
For a high school athlete, who will almost certainly value her mobility and physical fitness for as long as she has it in life, no matter what she ends up doing, yes; it was probably "dumb" in one sense. If you don't think trying to finish a race on a shattered leg could potentially cause permanent damage to that leg you clearly don't understand how the human body works.
The fact that it may have been dumb does NOT take anything away from this story, and is in fact a major part of what makes it impressive. I teared up when I was reading through the story, because it genuinely is amazing (though admittedly not on the Kerri Strug level).
