Bill Dellinger’s Letter to Steve Prefontaine (during Pre’s senior year of high school)

Mr. Steve Prefontaine, Marshfield High School, Coos Bay, Oregon

Dear Steve:

I was very impressed with your runaway victory in the 5 A-1 District Cross-Country Championship at Churchill High School last weekend.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your team the best of luck this coming Saturday in the State Cross Country Championship in Salem.

Sincerely,

Bill Dellinger, Assistant Track Coach
