Mr. Charles gave Ghost (Castle Crenshaw) a copy of the Guinness World Records and told him that someday he can be the greatest at something.  Ghost is a fast runner.  His survival has depended on that, but his speed gets noticed when Ghost challenges one of the fastest runners on the local Defenders track team.  Coach notices this young man in high tops and jeans matching his best stride for stride.  Coach recruits Ghost to become a member of the team, but will Ghost be able to commit to the hard work of training, staying out of trouble, and keeping his grades up at school?
