Even though I was a Pole Vaulter, Al and Jim Ryan were track heroes of mine. Of course Bob Seagren was my top favorite. I met Seagren and Ryan at an Indoor event in Philly in the early 70’s.

Jim Ryun was pretty good too. Who was Jim Ryan?

Jim Ryun was also a hero of mine. I read his biography and thought that one day maybe I would beat his world mile record. (hah!) I remember the day he called us on the phone. He was responding to my younger brother’s application to his running camp. What a thrill!
