Pre's last race

Pre was a running phenom and he new it but he had lost his drive after not placing at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Pre thought that he was a tougher in Eugene so he thought that he would get a little tour going over in the US for a few international races in the US other than the Olympics. The last race of the tour Pre won and he went to a few parties with his girlfriend but he never really had to much to drink. He went to one last party where his parents were to celebrate that the tour was over. He talked to his coach about how he wanted to train for the Olympics in Montreal in 1976 after that he said his goodbyes and took his friend Frank Shorter and his girlfriend Nancy home. After dropping off Frank he was headed home himself and when he took a turn at the bottom of the hill he misjudged the turn and slammed his car into a big rock. Pre was dead before the paramedics got to him. Steve Prefontaine died in the early morning of May 30th. Pre died at age twenty-four right in the middle of his prime. Here's a link to a site with Pre's rock and his last race.
