Thanks to College Game Balls for leading us to this story, although it's totally fouled up our morning. Apparently, a North Carolina high school track coach is marrying one of his athletes, a 16-year-old runner. The marriage was the end result of this mess, but it's not like they got drunk one night in Vegas and made an ill-advised decision.
During Windy's freshman year, her 38-year-old track coach, Brenton Wuchae, began taking a more active interest in her, offering to give the 14-year-old rides home from practice.
Then came the 2 a.m. text messages, the disturbing e-mails, and - finally - the nuptials. Stories like this are why we are waiting forever to have children. And, if it's at all possible, we will have three boys first so our daughter will have an umbrella of enforcers protecting her from this scenario. We've come a long way from Leave it to Beaver, people.
