Junior Joseph Ellefson is always up for a good challenge. His idea of a “good challenge” might be more extreme than it is for others, however, proven by him signing up for and competing in a 50-mile race this past weekend. Not only did Ellefson finish the race, he placed second out of 106 competitors — a testament to both his perseverance and his desire to compete “for the glorification of God.”
