What a great story Josh! I don't think I remember knowing about this guy. Great job preserving and sharing this little known history. Nice how it ties in more recent coaches and events (Bowerman & LA Torch Relay of 84 ) I also really like the old B&W pics. Thank you!
I wish the '28 LA Games were happening this summer! Your book will make everyone feel the same way!
Well done as always Josh!
Great episode Josh.
Incredible piece — it almost makes me want to lace up my shoes and see if I can knock out a 400 in 4 minutes.
And the Nixon quip? Absolutely nailed it. Loved that.
You got us all fired up now!
Only 340 days until the Marin Mile

Who knew Dick Nixon was a 5k fan?
Great stuff.
I had no idea about this guy.
Josh you’re to these Olympic Games what Ron Chernow was to Alexander Hamilton.
Well done!
Thanks Earl. All comparisons to Chernow gladly accepted!
Josh
This is outstanding story telling of an outstanding story buried by the ages.
I loved it.
It's a movie screenplay waiting for Netflix
It predates Bowerman era. Hayward is the mecca of college track.
Great job
Thanks Timothy. Know any film producers in LA :)
