This weekend's annual Prefontaine Classic track and field meet in Eugene, Oregon, marks the 30th anniversary of Steve Prefontaine's death.
Meet director Tom Jordan remembers being in the Hayward Field stands to watch Pre race: "All of a sudden, I see Pre is out there jogging and they were applauding his warm-up. Of course, once the race started, there was the rhythmic clapping and the stomping of the feet. Every time he came around, there was this `boom, boom, boom' off the West Grandstand. It gave me chills. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up."
