I was OK with it till I got to the age.

Back between about 1976 - 1983 I used to run a lot of local 5K and 10K races. There was an outstanding young girl who was about 12 years old named Stormy Gunch (sp?) that consistantly won her age group and above.

Unfortunately her father was typical of the one in this story and he was a verbal tyrant at every one of her races...There were times when he reduced her to tears.

She never made it to college, perhaps due to the driving and abusive behavior of her father, I suspect he drove her out of running..........

I heard that after Stormy dropped out of running, the father then focused his attention on her younger sister......

Anybody remember the Jimmy Piersall story and how that turned out?
