The Spirit of the Cherokee Runners: Chapter 2


Daniel Lamont Tulloch

One of the special characteristics that the Cherokees had according to the Europeans is the ease  in which they can travel up and down the mountains.  The Cherokee pathways was here in America way before the Europeans came.

Over the centuries, Cherokees learn to run and move fast. This is why our DNA reflects the fact that we in our time can move.  


William Jackson Williams III (Hypo)

For example; William J. Williams III (Hypo) ran track in Jr. High and High School. He was so good that he ran at Juniata College in Central Pennsylvania.  I ran at Homeville Jr. High on the Mustang Track Team. 



So did Wyndell R. Williams.


Stephanie Ann Williams

My daughter Stephanie Ann Williams Tulloch ran in CD Middle School and CD High School. Her and Olympic second place Hyleas Fountain's 100 meter rely team in middle school, never lost a race.  The funny part about it is that Stephanie is handy cap, with a turned foot at birth.    

But the greatest runner of our time was my Grandson, Daniel Lamont Tulloch, Stephanie's son.  At 8 years old, he ran the 3,000 meter run against 14 year olds and beat all but two people, (a boy and a girl age 14).

Why didn't we keep it up? Because we found other things to do and lost interest.
