BOULDER – Apologies to Deadheads everywhere and their beloved band, but what a strange and rewarding trip it turned out to be.
Flash back with Adam Peterman and Zach Perrin to the 2010 Montana high school cross country championships. Peterman and Perrin were running rivals, but as high school sophomores neither had any idea of how bitter the rivalry would become.
And they certainly couldn’t visualize how the animosity eventually would dissolve into an unshakable friendship.
Peterman ran for Hellgate High School in Missoula, Perrin for Flathead High School in Kalispell – roughly 115 miles due north of Missoula.
