Athlete, born in Wichita, Kansas, USA. In 1966, while still in his teens, he set a world record time of 3 min 51·3 s for the mile. The following year he established a world record in the 1500 m, clocking 3 min 33·1 s. Never as successful in top-class competition as he was against the clock, he failed to take the gold medal at the Olympic Games of 1964, 1968, and 1972.
