Luz limped across the finish line, panting and sweating under the warm June sun. There were only a few runners behind her, but the crowd still cheered wildly, shouting, “Luz! Luz! You go, girl.” Eight months earlier, Luz Garcia had broken her leg while dodging a speeding car and falling. When she tried to stand --and couldn’t-- all she could think of was the track team “Maybe you could try something different,” Papi suggested, “something not so hard on the legs?” Luz didn’t argue, but she did not give up her dream, either. Building up the muscles in her damaged leg was difficult, painful work. Many of the exercises hurt badly, but Luz improved bit by bit. Finally, she was able to walk normally “For me, running is almost like breathing,” she told her parents In the spring, Luz rejoined the team. When she ran her first race of the year in June, many people in the stands knew that no matter where she placed, Luz Garcia was a winner.
