But to me it would have to be Billy Mills. he won the 10,000 meter in 64, and he is Native American, My second to be on a Box of cereal would have to be Emmett Eastman. He walked across the country in The longest walk and also halfway flew to boston and ran the Boston Marathon this year. He is a good friend of mine and also an inspiration to all as he is in his late seventies and i am also a runner, He has run marathons all over . Overseas also. He is also Dakota. Peace "
