Ku Stevens will not let history be forgotten.

Stevens’ determination is already known. He was the lone runner on the Yerington cross country team this spring. In track, he posted the second fastest time in the state in the 1600-meter (4:23.16) and in the 3200 (9:47.26).

Later this summer, Stevens, who will be a senior at Yerington, will retrace his great-grandfather's journey in escaping from the Stewart Indian School outside of Carson City.

He is calling it "The Remembrance Run."
