The character’s name is Louis, he comes from a home in Torrance, California and is known for being a troublemaker. Constantly getting in trouble with the law, Louis left his house when he was sixteen. He went to highschool and got involved into track with his older brother. Most of his time was devoted to running and training for all the mets he wanted to join in. Quickly becoming a seasoned track star and breaking the state record in California, Louis was offered several scholarships. Before he went to college he broke a state record and became notably famous. He then was offered to represent the U.S. tracking team in the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He placed eighth and earned a spot in knowledgeable track stars.
Louis wanted to succeed in the sport that he worked so hard to achieve in. He was very self absorbed and always strived himself into advancing his goals towards becoming as good a runner as he could be. I think he doesn’t want to end up in the same situation as he was before he entered into track, just this state of him being hardly noticed unless he did something to get everyone’s attention. He also wants to see himself improve more than he could ever be before and track was the way he was going to get noticed.
