For at least the past 10 years, either the valedictorian or saluditorian were on the cross country team. Now this may be conceivable in a smaller school, but our class of 2008 is over 500 kids. This year, our team captain has just been named the saluditorian. Is this because of the proteins produced during exercise? Or perhaps because running builds the discipline needed to study and work hard. It is also a great stress reliever, which is necessary in a working environment.
