JENSON USA Spirit Award Winner: Nolan Torres

 By all medical accounts- Nolan should not be able to walk properly, yet alone run. The struggles within his body each and every day are more than most adults will face in their life, and...he is still the first to hit that track! Just like he faces his medical conditions one day at a time, he faces his running goal one lap at a time. He wants to run before school, during school, and whenever he can. He encourages others (including his parents) to get out and move. I have personally watched him stop to encourage classmates while running. He wears that shirt with pride and will tell anyone who will listen what 100 Mile Club is all about- even his doctors. Nolan exemplifies all that is 100 Mile Club is: His ENTHUSIASM is unparalleled, his FIGHT is undeniable and his AMBITION is something I strive to match.
