Go Herb Brooks!
Indeed. If Bob Hayes doesn't make it, there is something wrong with the system. Same with Darrel Pace and Greg Barton.
1968 4X400 relay - A truly terrifying combination of runners.
Herb Brooks - No. Was basically a one hit wonder (admittedly, one H@ll of a hit). Bowerman, Temple and Fassi were far more influential in their respective sports and produced quite a string of Olympic athletes over the years. I don't know anything about Haines, however.
