SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) -- Gerry Lindgren beat Billy Mills, Steve Prefontaine and Jim Ryun on the race track, but the man many consider the greatest high school distance runner in history is little known compared to his legendary contemporaries.
That is starting to change. Long a virtual recluse, Lindgren has just published an autobiography. He was recently elected to the Track and Field Hall of Fame. And one of his 40-year-old high school records was just broken. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/more/04/14/bc.run.returnoflindgren.ap/
