Long DescriptionOne Way, Uphill Only is a journey to the center of high school cross country in America. Covering an entire year of action, the narrative follows the trials and tribulations of five young men as they try to win the first state and national cross country championships in the history of Palatine (IL) High School. The story is told from the unique vantage point of their coach, Chris Quick, who is not only a remarkable coach but a writer of the first order as well. He takes a sport that seems on its surface to be dead simple—run hard, add up the finishing places of your first five runners, and the team with the lowest score wins—and unpacks its astonishing complexity and beauty. He weaves details of training, injury, psychology, rivalries, parents, and history into one dramatic, continuously fascinating story. Chris Quick has been a coach at Palatine High School since 2001. He is a graduate of both the University of Illinois and Northwestern University. This is his debut work of nonfiction. He lives in Palatine, Illinois.

We just completed a major upgrade to the backend with a minor face lift to the web site. More changes are coming soon!

We completed the upgrade that changed the way we store company data and connect it to the product details. This required a set major database changes and some minor but important web site changes.

Over the next couple weeks we will roll out various other web site upgrades that make use of these new changes and provide you with better access to our data.

As always, if you see anything odd on the site, please let us know and we will get it fixed right away.
