For thirty-five years Jim Knoedel was a collegiate coach with stops at Iowa State, Drake, Loyola, Northwestern, and the University of Illinois at Chicago where he spent the last twenty-one years of his career. He is a graduate of the University of Iowa and currently reside with his wife Denise in Chicago.
"Girl on the Run" continues the fictional story of Sarah Tucker, now running at Northwestern University in 1982, and her introduction to college competition. After a tumultuous start, by mid-year it seems her collegiate career is on the brink of disaster, only the chance to step away, and a reassessment of her goals rekindling the desire to continue running. Although national level success as a sophomore still proves elusive, she redoubles efforts in pursuit of goals – to be named as an All American and compete at the 1984 Olympic Trials. Sarah fails in one of these challenges but achieves the other, as a senior shocked to be selected for a position she had never even considered. Set during the demise of the AIAW and initial acceptance of women into NCAA sports, this tale explores the obstacles still faced by females during the implementation of 1972 Title IX legislation. 222 pages.
