Description

ONE WAY, UPHILL ONLY is a journey to the center of high school cross country in America. Spanning an entire year of action, the narrative follows the trials and tribulations of five young men as they try to win the first state and national cross country championships in the history of Palatine High School. Join the “Fab Five”—Marcus, Timmy J, Monkey, Peter, and Tony—as they devote an entire year of their young lives to a common dream.

The story is told from the vantage point of their coach, Chris Quick, who is both a remarkable coach and a writer of the first order. He takes a sport that seems on its surface to be dead simple—run hard, add up the finishing places of your five best runners, low score wins—and unpacks its astonishing complexity and beauty.

Mixing the day-to-day trivialities of endurance training with intense race action, ONE WAY, UPHILL ONLY is a love letter both to high school running and to the young men and women nationwide who seek the “pearl of great price.”
