As captain of his school track and field team, Jonas runs only to win. His specialty is the 100m sprint. When the team's first track meet does not go as well as he hoped, Jonas turns his anger on his teammates. He ends up in the office, where the principal kicks him off the team and strips him of his captaincy. She later strikes a deal with him: she will let him complete at the final track meet if he wins Darien - a vision - and mobility impaired teen - for a 5k race. Only then does Jonas realize the real meaning of sportsmanship and what it takes to be a true winner --
