...American Keith Francis is a proven entity in the middle distance events. High school All-American Bill Martin has already raised collegiate eyebrows in the 1000-yard and mile runs. 1975 IC4A sprint champion Bob Hazard is still fleet of foot and could spell trouble for the Harvard dash duo of Todd Hooks and Mark McLean...
...such huge men, the front four have exceptional speed. With hands the size of bear paws and thighs the thickness of a railroad tie, Joe Greene measures 6 ft. 4 in. and weighs 275 lbs. Even so, he drives through the 40-yd. dash in less than five seconds, as fast as many running backs.

Like John at his zenith, Holroyd creates a suite of sardonic and sympathetic verbal portraits. Between the figures flow the ingredients of that most difficult of works-the biography of a grandiose failure...
