I was running HS track at the time and I also loved Pre.Pre was an idol of mine growing up. As was Jordan and Ali. I could have mentioned Bolt, Ruth, Thorpe, etc, but it was Pre that had the most influence on me, and therefore consider him one of the greatest of all time. JMHO.Pre was a great distance runner but not on an international level. He did not even medal in the OlympicsJordan, Ali, Prefontaine.
He was like a Rock Star
But GOAT? We have many, many track stars who dominated world wide
Carl Lewis, Jesse Owens
