Josh Ripley from Andover High, however, scooped up the injured competitor and ran a quarter mile back to the starting line to deliver the boy to his coaches before returning to his junior varsity cross country 2-miler.

The Minnesota youth finished the race with a time "a little above" his normal mark.
