Ben Comen is a cross country runner who has run on the TL Hanna High School cross country team for five years, completing his senior season in 2004. Ben has cerebral palsy that affects his balance, so he has to work a little harder than his teammates. He typically finishes last in his races.
Many have viewed Ben’s efforts as extraordinary. His demonstration of giving his all, even knowing that his all will not gain him the time earned by his competitors, is a lesson for all of us.
While Ben’s achievements are very visible, he is supported behind the scenes by his family, coach, team, and community. Without these, Ben would not have had the opportunity to race. So, thanks to all who have stood with Ben along the way, and welcome to those who are visiting this site for the first time. You are about to meet an amazing young man.
