Cross Country Running Poster of Steve Prefontaine

The cross country running poster showcases Steve Prefontaine. Jeff Johnson shot this photo at the NCAA Cross Country National Championships. The poster shows you the pain and suffering Prefontaine would put himself through to win. The quote on this running poster is "The best pace is a suicide pace, and today is a good day to die." This quote fits Steve Prefontaine and his no guts no glory attitude. Pre was not only a great track runner, but he was also a great cross country runner. He won three national championships on grass. Prefontaine fastest time on the cross country course at the national championships was 28:00. Steve was unbeatable after his freshman year never being beaten again for the rest of his college career. Check out my other cross country running posters. They are Olympic 1, Olympic 2 and Oregon poster.
