Roland "Pre" Prefontaine (January 25, 1951 – May 30, 1975) was an
American middle and long-distance runner who competed in the 1972 Olympics.
Prefontaine once held the American record in seven different distance track
events from the 2,000 meters to the 10,000 meters. Prefontaine died in May 1975 at the age of 24
in an automobile accident.

Prefontaine's life story has been detailed in two dramatic films: 1997's Prefontaine

favorite, quotes. Several people we interviewed recalled Prefontaine uttering
this.
