Overcomer

Some of runners in the film really are cross country champions, including Diamond Morgan (Gena Mills) who really has won multiple state championships. Aryn Wright-Thompson (Hannah) however was not actually a runner. The distance she ran while filming was not measured, but Alex figured she probably ran about 50 miles. She eventually needed shin splints and often had a stunt double. One day, while filming the second race, she stepped into a groove and hyperextended her knee and fell to the ground. But she fully recovered. The other parts of this race with her were filmed at a later date. After filming was completed, she didn't want to run anymore.

On the second hospital visit between daughter and father (alone), a tight shot shows the father's bedside table with a water glass, tissue box, then TV remote. A few times, the director cuts to a wider, side-shot and the tissue box moves way over to his right, far from the water glass.
