Glenn Cunningham

Glenn was born in Atlanta,Kansas but was raised in Elkhart,Kansas. His birthdate was August 4, 1909 and died in March 10,1988. He was a strong, determined athlete that even after his accident he was able to get back on his feet and become such a great runner. He achieve many goals throughout his life, even though he was a tragic accident he didn't let that interfere with him and his running. He had set a record by running a indoor mile in 4:04 minutes. He also set record in the 800m run. A lot of people who tried after to beat his record , failed. Cunningham was the only one who was able to achieve this. Cunningham's greatest success was his strategy developed from his childhood. They even named a park after him located in Elkhart,Kansas. A lesson you can learn from this, is no matter what situation your faced with you can always achieve many things, if you always try and never give up.
