Prep runner stops on course to aid rival

There’s an old adage that says “Nice guys finish last.” It was not intended as a positive remark.

But out of Tennessee this week came a positive story about a nice guy who did finish last — because he stopped to help a fellow competitor in need.

Seth Goldstein of Memphis’ Cooper Yeshiva High School stopped midway through a cross country meet to assist another runner who had collapsed with heat-related issues.

It’s an uplifting story about a winner who didn’t finish the line in first place.

Here’ the link to the story.
