Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-This easy-to-read survey has enough information for brief reports and makes an attractive choice for reluctant readers to use as leisure reading. Molzahn's writing style brings the runners to life and full-color and black-and-white photographs add to the appeal. The short profiles include the athletes' childhood memories, school experiences, and career achievements. Their records and awards are also listed. Florence Griffith-Joyner's death is not noted. A section of chapter notes points readers to resources that were consulted for this book. A good addition to the sports shelves.
