Leonad Hilton, i think that's his name. The U Houston runner.
Was it common to wear jerseys with sleeves at the time?
-
"More Pre Coming up"
-
"0:58 second last quarter isn't too bad." Spoken like a champion, he knew he ccould do better and he ended up doing it!
-
At the start of 5:17, look at that surge!
-
Frank Shorter looks like a girl in this race.
-
what he was really lacking was the future there were no runners that could go under 13 minutes for 5000 meters
-
@Absolut1566 Yeah, you STILL are a dumbass. Go ahead and be inspired if he does that for you. But the greatest? FAR from it.
-
@VirenKickedPresAss Oh sure; I'm a dumbass, and you're not because you spend hours of your life on youtube arguing with people who you will never meet and who's opinions you most likely will never change. Who cares if people say he's the greatest? He was and still is an inspiration to runners all over America, and it doesn't take an olympic medal to do that.
-
@Absolut1566 No, DUMBASS, just the ones that say he is the GREATEST, when there arew OTHERS that have MEDALS. You're living proof why some mothers eat their young. And where did you get" a thirteen minute 5k"?
-
@VirenKickedPresAss Man why are you on like every video that involves Steve Prefontaine?? You just talk about how bad he sucks for not getting a gold medal in Munich. I'd like to see you get out there in the olympics and try running a thirteen minute 5k. :|
wouldn't you agree thet he was the greatest american distance runner?

He obviously has far more charisma than any other American distance runner, with our best meet named after him.
In terms of times and national titles, he's a strong candidate. The thing he's lacking is real international success, i.e. of Frank Shorter's marathon gold. Nonwithstanding, I do believe Pre is the standard for American distance runners, until someone takes his place.
