By Steve Bence, BA '75 (mathematics), MBA '91 (general business) 

In 1972, Nike's program director in footwear sourcing and manufacturing—and an All-American runner at Oregon in the early 1970s—shares about his coach, Bill Bowerman; his friend, Steve Prefontaine; his running career at the UO; and his 40-plus year career at Nike. Regarding the latter, Bence offers the seldom-told manufacturing story from Nike's early years. Combined, he has created a book that belongs on every running enthusiast's shelf.
