“A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected by in as many ways as they’re capable of understanding.”

        - Steve Prefontaine

“It’s always a pleasure working with you.  You have a knack of explaining complex issues clearly and interestingly. ‘Knack’ is probably too small-time a word, when I’m referring to a talent that takes intellect, orderly thinking, and the ability to express oneself.”   

Ed Fox

Editor in Chief, Track Coach magazine
