26. What does Paul learn about his coach, Betty Bright, from Mr. Donnelly?

Paul learns that Betty was a hurdler in the 1978 Olympics, but that she didn't qualify after an East German hit her in the eye, knocking her off balance. Betty was unable to go to the next olympics in Moscow because of the boycott. None-the-less, she had a great amatuer career and received scholarship offers from a number of great schools.
