In track and field, it’s really simple: Look at the clock. The fastest is nearly impossible to debate when your time is better than everyone else’s. On this weeks show, one of the fastest men on the planet ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PrQYSuhZyDs), 2017 60m national champion Ronnie Baker, talks about his beginnings - from running track for the first time as child, to a high school track meet that helped open his eyes to the possibility of going places he never considered, to having his sights on Olympic gold. Ronnie talks about the challenges along the way - the power the love, faith, and intentionality a mom can have to point a child in the right direction, possibly to the top of the platform with gold around his neck. But knowing that he does not get there outside of going to the Cross first. The most important race that he is running is not on a track field.
