I watched them all, Rudy Chapa, Alberto Salazar (not the politician), Prefontaine, Frank Shorter......there were three McChesney brothers, by the way. The battles with the early Kenyan's from Washington State were great.
In a high school track meet I once led the second McChesney for a couple laps. Of course, I was a senior and he was a freshman, and he did finish twenty seconds ahead of me.
I've been away from track for too long to have much of a feel for it anymore. I used to catch the occaisonal event in San Jose, but there just doesn't seem to be much of anything in Maryland.
Was Pre as special as the movies make him, or was that just a Hollywood story?
