Lot 562. June 15, 1970 Sports Illustrated with Steve Prefontaine on the Cover. SI devotes four pages to Prefontaine, the freshman running star at the University of Oregon, and Bill Bowerman, his legendary coach and eventual 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. Vg+ magazine with a mailing label. Outstanding photo of Prefontaine.
Winning Bid $25.
