    I am almost finished with the book and I have been IN AWE of how much information this book had provided. I’ve been following this team for some time and knowing where and how this team came to be is amazing. Recommend it to anyone who’s interested slightly in the team and or just running in general.

    Flagstaff running history in a nutshell
    If you are a fan of this college team and want to know the history of the team/city where the team is located? This is the book for you. Both authors have done a good job at being descriptive and thorough when going through the timeline of this historic team. If you are a running fan, this is a must read.
