  • Resumen

  • Bill Bowerman is legendary in track and field circles, coaching the University of Oregon track teams during the 1950s and '60s. His players set NCAA and world track records, including Steve Prefontaine. Along with former player Phil "Buck" Knight, Bowerman co-founded NIKE.

    This is part 1 in a 3-part interview conducted in Bill's studio on the U of O campus in 1979. In it he begins by talking about the history of track under Oregon's first coach, Bill Hayward, and later the founding of the company, NIKE. Bowerman reminds one of American humorist Will Rogers, as exemplified by this quip "The only historical thing is...If your first name is Bill, you stand a better chance of being the head track coach at Oregon than if your name is Pete."

    EDITOR's NOTE: Bowerman was one of my first interviews in Journalism School at U of Oregon, reflecting an amateurism. And this cassette recording is not the clearest. So, proceed accordingly.
