In Steve's first year at Oregon he was an animal. He finished second at the cross country championships loosing in a close six mile race with the Washington State's Gerry Lindengren who pulled ahead of him at the last part of the race. Steve had a new a few new experiences in his Freshman year in running. His cross country races went from a 5k to a 10k, he didn't win them all and he got to run indoor track. Indoor track is much different than out door track. Indoor had a 160 yard oval and it was in the winter. Steve had his fair share of indoor wins but he was much better at outdoor track. Steve in only his freshman year won every race except one race. Steve went on to run at the NCAA Championships to win the three mile with a blistering time of 13:22. His pace was 4 minutes and 30 seconds per mile. That is amazing!t

Yeah he was pretty amazing. It was horrible when he died though. I forgot how he died. Do you know? Oh by the way, do we have to do that photo sheet this weekend?
