  • Top 10 Steve Prefontaine Quotes
    Top 10 Steve Prefontaine Quotes By: Johanna Gretschel for MileSplit Last January 25th was Steve Prefontaine's 65th birthday. The legend of "Pre," as the crowds cheered in 1970s Hayward Field, or "Rube," as University of Oregon coaches Bill Bowerman and Bill Dellinger addressed their young protegé, looms large in the public imagination. Why does the world continue to love Steve Prefontaine? One, because the world never got to see what he could do. He died in a car accident in 1975 at age 24. In that brief lifetime, Pre won 119 of 151 outdoor track races including six NCAA titles and set 15 American records at every distance from two miles through 10K. Two, because of his forthright personality. Pre was a champion of athletes' rights -- he fought the AAU for a better living wage at a time when Olympic hopefuls were not allowed to accept payment for racing -- and an outspoken competitor -- someone who never shied away from declaring his intent on running For The Win. That outspokenness has granted Pre immortality. His quotes live on on T-shirts, posters and countless social media channels as daily affirmations for inspiration towards athletic greatness. Scroll through the slideshow to see a few of our favorites. Happy Birthday, Steve. Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it. I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it. To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

  • Southern Oregon Past& Medford's Nike Connection: Bill Bowerman By
    Medford’s Nike Connection: Bill Bowerman By Dennis Powers Former Medford High football player and coach, Bill Bowerman, later went on to become a legend in coaching track--and a co-founder of Nike. He played for another stand-out, Prink Callison, whose Medford teams had a 44-game win streak at one time and won three state championships from 1926 to 1928. The 1928 Medford “Tigers” (as the team was called then)--one of the best teams ever in Southern Oregon--averaged 36 points a game, limited opponents to 40 points for the entire season, and Bill Bowerman was their left end. Born in 1911, Bowerman moved to Medford when he was 10 years old. Raised by his mother and aunts (his father left the family when he was 2), he was “a mean little kid,” by his own admission. When he went out for football as a sophomore, Callison wouldn’t put up with his antics and kicked him off the varsity team to junior varsity. Bowerman credits both him and Superintendent Hedrick (for whom the middle school on East Jackson Street is named) as disciplinarians who straightened him out. He also played basketball and edited the school newspaper. After high school, he went to the University of Oregon (“OU”) and became a quarter- mile runner under legendary Ducks’ track coach, Colonel Bill Hayward; this coach became the mentor under which Bowerman modeled himself and learned the “concepts of greatness,” as he reminisced. With his bachelor’s degree in 1934, Bowerman decided to attend medical school, but he first had to earn tuition.

  • Pre: Still America’S Standard
    Reprinted from The Register-Guard Eugene, Oregon May 30, 2005 Page A1 Pre: Still America’s Standard Thirty years ago today, the community of Eugene awoke to the mind-numbing news that America’s greatest distance runner – Steve Prefontaine – was dead. At age 24, with his best years still ahead, the incomparable “Pre” was killed when his sports car overturned at a blind curve on Skyline Drive near Hendricks Park. Pre’s story is not simply one of a gifted athlete dying young. It’s the story of a bold runner who would make brash predictions and then fulfill them, of an outspoken rebel who helped expose the hypocrisy of amateurism, a pioneer who set the tone for a fledgling company called Nike, and an intense competitor who inspired generations of U.S. distance runners by never giving anything less than his best. There will never be another Pre. He remains the standard by which all other U.S. runners are judged. See story in Sports, Page B1 Page B1 – Sports “Steve was a real person, and you don’t find real people very often in this world.” – NETA PREFONTAINE , SISTER OF STEVE PREFONTAINE PRE LIVES The legacy of the brash and talented Steve Prefontaine is very much alive on the 30th anniversary of his death BY CURTIS ANDERSON The Register-Guard Elfriede Prefontaine will be in the West Grandstand at Hayward Field on Saturday, surrounded by friends and family at the annual Prefontaine Classic track and field meet. For the first time, however, her husband of 56 years, Ray, will not be there; he passed away last December.
