High School Principal Goes the Extra Mile

A high school principal in New York goes the extra mile to inspire his students.

And yes, we're talking actual miles.

Starting his trek on Friday, he had a goal to run 100 miles. That's about 400 laps around the track you see here.

It's all part of what of what Principal O'keefe calls 'Achieve One Hundred'. If he can run 100 miles, his students can give 100 percent in all they do.

And nearly 24 hours after starting his 100 mile run, Principal O'keefe crossed the finish line in front of a crowd of supporters.
