I had crashes when I was small and Gumby-like that would have killed me now.

If he's having a good day and running the right race, nobody can beat Frank Shorter at 10,000 meters... nobody except me. Steve Prefontaine
It wasn't until I was 14 and watched the 1976 Olympic games on television that I really started to dream about the big time. I remember seeing Evelyn Ashford in the 100 meters, and she was going to UCLA. Jackie Joyner Kersee
