Happy Birthday, Pre! Wherever you are running laps these days, we hope you're still setting records and leaving competitors gasping for air. Your legendary mustache alone probably shaved seconds off your mile time—no wonder you set seven national records!Even though your races ended far too soon, you've inspired generations to run faster and dream bigger. We bet heaven's track meets got a whole lot more competitive once you arrived. Keep pacing the angels up there; they're going to need it if they ever want a chance at catching up with Oregon's greatest runner.
Cheers to an eternal legend!
