Track and field is the world's oldest sport. This is the first history of the sport published since 1964. The exploits and personal stories of more than 250 track and field stars who attended high school or college in Michigan are spotlighted. Because athletes like Doug Brown, Delisa Walton, Kim Turner, Henry Carr, Quincy Watts, Rex Cowley, Vivian McKinzie and Otis Davis attended schools in Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, California, Oregon and Iowa, the book reaches into nearly every part of the nation. While The Hero Within Us tells the story of many of the nation's great track and field athletes, it also explains the values, the changes in technology, and the political influences that shaped the sport. Dominant values changed several times and the sport both influences and reflected those changes. Class exclusiveness, racial prejudice, communal values, ethnic inclusiveness, and corporate promotion and advertising, at one time or another, have had a significant influence on the development of track. This book identifies the consequences of those influences.The narrative draws on primary sources and interview with Michigan athletes to preserve and understand Michigan's role in track history and to explore the interaction between sport and history.This book contains 668 pages of text including forty-six photographs. There are also footnotes, an index, and an appendix that lists the state's one hundred best male and forty-five most notable female track and field athletes; Michigan's track and field Olympians and World and record holders. Paperback, Label: Eastern Michigan Press, Eastern Michigan Press, Product group: Book, Published: 2001-06-21, Studio: Eastern Michigan Press, Sales rank: 6305465.
