When Derek Ran the Olympic Torch

With the Summer Olympics in full force and the nation locked in to watching TV as much as possible, I figured there wouldn't be a better time to share the story of Derek running the torch in the Winter of 2002. In high school, Derek was nominated to run the torch by fellow classmates. Weeks later, a letter came in the mail informing him he had been chosen to help run the torch through Twin Falls, Idaho. He ran two legs in his   official Olympic track suit {maybe his sparking love of track suits in the first place?} and was able to carry the torch some of the way. The torch then went on to be carried to help light the big torch in Salt Lake City a few weeks later. At the finish, he was welcomed by his family who cheered for him the whole way in, what looks like, warm & cozy coats for that cold Idaho morning.
