| "Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we do it to receive an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air; but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified."
I Corinthians 9:24-27 (NSRV)

Featured Athlete: Dustin Craig
|
Dustin Craig, a sophomore at Malone University, has only been running track since his senior year in high school, but to watch him run, you would think he has been doing it all his life. It's not the speed, nor the endurance. It's the peace of mind he gets when he is out there, pounding out step after step after step...well, you get the idea. When he (Dustin) runs for His (God's) prize, there is nothing sweeter.

He learned the fundamentals of sprinting on the basketball court, playing eight years in the Christian League of Athletics ("CLAY"), where he also participated as a student coach. As a perennial defensive attacker, Dustin learned the importance of "getting off the block" before he started using one. And full speed to the end...for several minutes at a time, sometimes from the start of the quarter until the end of it.
|
| Dustin committed his life to the service of the Lord at the age of 16, and now owns 50% of Right Choice Today, Inc., which acquired CLAY during its 2008 season. He also co-founded the Created... Music Project as lead guitarist for its first band and writes music for the program.
|
