R.I.P. Larry James-1968 Track Olympian


On a personal note, for those people that are true blue track fans Larry James died. He ran in the 1968 Olympics with Lee Evans and was the second man to break the 44 second barrier for 400m. He's of greater imprtance to me because I actually met the man and spent some time with him when I was in college. He really inspired me to do better all around as an athlete and as a person and I thank him for laying that foundation. His energy was so strong and he will be missed by many.
