Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story tells the inspiring true journey of an Olympic hero from a tiny town. Eighth-grader Alma Richards quits school to become a ranch hand. A chance encounter with a Michigan State professor sets Alma back on the road to education, which in turn leads him to more than he's ever dreamed of, including a trip to the 1912 Stockholm Olympics to compete in high jump for a gold medal.
Having just heard of track and field a short time earlier, Alma's natural talent and work ethic dovetail to create a potential champion. Yet Alma had to rely on deeper reservoirs of inner strength to overcome other obstacles in his way. Can he emerge victorious against all odds?
