"Finishing Kick describes a fictional year of a girl's high school cross country team. Duffau . . . knows young people, team politics and school gossip, but mostly knows running and accurately describes summer training, team workouts and inspiring racing scenes as the team heads to state championships." Running Times Magazine
Callie plans on a smooth senior cross country season - then finds herself holding the keys to the nuthouse when she agrees to be team captain.
Her coach expects her to blend the girls into a championship-caliber team to take on perennial champs, Fairchild Academy. Callie escapes into her running even as running the team makes her crazy. Mark, the boy's team captain, makes her crazy, too. Callie struggles to manage the team but Mattie, a fast redhead with an eye on Mark, complicates everything.
Callie never backs off a challenge but can she pull them together with the State meet just around the corner?
A humorous peek inside one girl's dream to guide her team to the winner's podium, Finishing Kick takes an inspirational look into girls cross country.
