Runner Breaks Leg, Crawls To Finish Line

Driven by determination, a local runner from Burton Township, breaks her leg during a cross country meet, but still makes it across the finish line.

Claire Markwardt is a cross country runner for the Berkshire High School track team. She was participating in the Ohio state high school cross country championship in Columbus November third, then had plans to be maid of honor at her sister's wedding that evening.

"I was fine until about 200 meters away and then it started to hurt and then it cracked a couple times," says Claire. The amazing finish was captured by several cameras.

Did she make it to the big social that night?

That is a girl with true grit. I imagine she will be a winner in life what ever she chooses to do. She can be on my team anytime

and that is why I DRIVE when I need to go anywhere

Did anyone else think her name was Driven By Determination at first?
