Memorial For the "Eight"

This poster was created by DUI Victims Voice in conjunction with the following Flickr.com photographer: Gregor y

This memorial was erected in memory of eight University of Wyoming cross country runners killed by a drunken driver in 2001. The father of Shane Shatto built the cross. Their killer, Clint Haskins, (also a university student) was convicted and sentenced to 14-20 years.

A poem written by their teammate who was not with them at the time of the crash:

It seems of late,

That you crested a hill

And I cannot climb.

You have taken a path,

And I cannot follow.

If I seek the courage

To mimic your stride,

Perhaps upon a day

When my spikes have been hung,

We shall rise again

For another run.
