In the 3,200-metre state championship race, Meghan Vogel, 17, was rounding the final lap with the finish line in sight when another runner collapsed in front of her. She could have run on. They were the last runners in the race, and as Ms. Vogel’s mom explained later, her daughter – who had won the 1,600-metre race with a personal best an hour earlier – had never finished in last place in a race before.

In that moment, she made a choice. She stopped and lifted the fallen runner, Arden McMath, to her feet and supported her the last 50 metres, careful to keep Ms. McMath in front so that she crossed the line first.

Here's another good one.

Sometimes I think there is no hope for the human race and then things like this happen to prove me wrong.
