This vote has taken me down memory lane, I thought I’d talk a bit about my @SInow covers. My first SI Cover, making the 1964 Tokyo US Olympic Team as a High School Junior at 17.  I had only been running for 2 years.

I have said many times that when it’s time and our turn they will show up. They showed up today in a magnificent way - first, third and fifth - congratulations to our USA metric mile runners. Congrats, Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse and Hobbs Kessler. You make us all so proud.


Thank you, sir. It is one of the greatest privileges to receive from you.

We bring you a legend in the mile with Jim Ryun. In 1964, @jimryun burst on the track scene at 17 by running the first sub 4-min mile by a H.S. boy after only 2 years as a runner, and a month later, he would earn a spot on the Olympic team in Tokyo. cleansport.libsyn.com
