SI devotes four pages to Prefontaine and Bill Bowerman, his legendary coach and an innovator who became a co-founder of Nike. Prefontaine was, arguably, the United States’ greatest distance runner. At the peak of his career, he held every American track and field record from 2,000 to 10,000 meters. Two of his records remain unbroken. He died in a rollover car accident in 1975 at the age of 24. Desirable ex-m magazine with a small, light surface crease and without a mailing label to interfere with the outstanding photo of Prefontaine.
