Texas maverick Ron Paul makes mark on GOP race

Grand Rapids— When Ron Paul attended high school in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, the GOP presidential candidate was a track star who broke records and landed the title of state champion.

His skill led the University of Pittsburgh to offer him a scholarship, but by then Paul had hurt his knee playing football and knew his performance would never be the same.

University officials told Paul they were willing to take a chance on him, but Paul insisted on turning down the scholarship.
