Joe Newton has won 26 Illinois State Cross Country Championships. His team won the inaugural NTN championship three years ago. He was the first high school coach to be part of the Olympic coaching staff in the the '88 games. He has coached at York HS in Elmhurst for 43 years! Needless to say, he is one of the greatest high school coaches in ANY sport. His first book, The Long Green Line, was first published in 1969 and you can still get copies of the book on several online sources.
The long awaited movie about this great coach is going to finally become a reality and you can learn more about the movie at the following link:
