About this ebook
Jake Maddox
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

Relay Race Breakdown - Jake Maddox
CHAPTER 1
THE DEAL
Nick Reyes peered around the corner at the end of a long hallway at Central Junior High School. He looked left, then right. The coast was clear.
Nick sighed in relief. He was hiding out. In fact, he’d been hiding out all day, ever since his gym teacher, Mr. Swanson, had asked to talk to him after class. Nick was pretty sure he knew why. It was about his running. Or, more likely, lack of running.
Normally Nick liked gym well enough, but last month they’d done a cross-country unit. Nick hated running. He knew he was terrible at it. He always felt like the slowest kid in class. It was embarrassing.
Luckily, he only had gym once a week. He’d managed to get out of running with one excuse or another each time they ran. But he was out of excuses.
Nick had avoided Mr. Swanson all day. By now, he should have been out of the school and home free, but he’d forgotten a book in his locker.
Just get the book, and you’re home free, Nick thought. He peered around the corner and got ready to make his move.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him. Hey there, Nick,
a voice called. I’ve been looking for you.
Nick turned around to see Mr. Swanson standing behind him, holding a clipboard. He didn’t look happy.
Oh, no, Nick thought. I almost made it.
I thought I asked you to stop in and talk to me after class,
Mr. Swanson said. He tapped his clipboard with a pen. We have a small problem. I don’t have any kind of grade for you on the cross-country portion of the class.
Nick sighed. He knew Mr. Swanson had noticed.
You didn’t run the mile with the rest of the class,
Mr. Swanson said. In fact, I have you marked absent every time we ran. We never scheduled a make-up run.
Nick gulped. You want me to run the mile?
