The day Roger Ditmer ran home... 90 miles!

Below is an article that appeared in the Sidney Daily News when the newspaper picked up on the story. Last night on Fish Report LIVE! we spoke to Russia High School track coach Dan Schafer, who is a friend of Roger and told the story from 41 years ago. To hear Coach Schafer's version, click here.
