"Pre embodied the spirit of athletic excellence.  He had a belief in self and sport that transcended all but the outer reaches of human speed and endurance.  A runner and a rebel, Pre never gave in to anything or anybody.
As a freshman he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, which hailed him as "America's Distance Prodigy."  By the time he died in a tragic auto accident at age 24, Pre held all 7 American records between 2,000 and 10,000 meters.   Off the track he fought relentlessly for the rights of amateur athletes to prosper from their sacrifices.
Fire on the Track is the story of this young lion's life, as told through rare footage and the memories of those who knew him best - his teammates, coaches, family and friends.
A true spirit, a tireless competitor, a rebel with a cause, Pre made a difference."
