I had the honor of meeting Mr. Woodruff before he passed away. He is truly a great man and one of the best runners of all time.

I run his 5k race is every in Connellsville, PA and finish on the track by the tree. It gets me an extra kick at the end of the race!

R.I.P.

I am inspired, a great athlete, an even greater life. As Jackie said, a life is measured by the impact you have upon others, what an impact John Woodruff had.

John Woodruff was a great athlete and fine human being, his story should be an inspiration to us all, RIP John!
