#294 - If you search back in running history Robert Earl Johnson and Wilma Rudolph will be two of the first names that you will see. Both are pioneers in running history, having achieved firsts in races and track meets, including the Olympics, that had not been seen before. Johnson was the first Black American to compete in Olympic distance running and Rudolph was the first American woman to win three Gold Medals in one Olympic games. But they were both so much more. And that is what this week's episode is about. So, join me as I honor this two magnificent runners and heroes!
