Mustache of the Week: Steve Prefontaine. American middle distance runner. Born and raised in Coos Bay, Oregon, Prefontaine was an abnormally short runner who broke American records and became a sports phenom of his era. He helped inspire the "running boom" in the 1970s and was known for "gutting out" races. And had an amazing mustache. He died too young at the age of 24 in a car accident.
Think College Now fact of the week: 66% of the students at Think College now read at grade level in 2009, up from just 8% in 2003. 81% do math at grade level, up from 23% in 2003.
This amazing little elementary is changing lives and defying the odds against under-resourced public schools. "Gutting it out" as Steve Prefontaine would have said.
