Selceted Image: Steve Prefontaine

I chose this picture of Steve Prefontaine, with one of his most well known quotes across the top and him finishing the race at Oregon with a dominating performance. Steve Prefontaine is one of my biggest heroes, as a Cross country and Track runner in High school I have vast respect for Prefontaine. Dying in his prime was a huge loss to the running world, and as most people don't know who he is, I try to make every opportunity to use him and other runners in my presentations or works to try to get them the credit they deserve. If this isn’t ok then I will find something new, but running is a huge aspect of my life so writing about this will be much better and easier to work with then something I don’t have huge respect and love for. The Quote will also help to inspire and motivate and bring out more rhetorical strategies.
