Favorite Elite Runner

Honestly, for me its a tough choice between shorter and hall.

My list, in descending order.

1. (undecided) Shorter, hall?
2. Daniel Komen
3. Steve Scott
4. Bernard Lagat
5. Prefontaine (I don't care how many pre-haters there are, I will alway be a pre fan)

All other runners I am mostly indifferent about.

1. Pre (I don't care about the haters either, he was the first pro runner I knew)

2. Sebastian Coe

3. Frank Shorter/Ryan Hall as well

3 way tie
Hall, Pre, Shorter

They're all the same!

Coe

Pre, Hall, Famiglietti

Do you have to be good to be someone's favorite runner?
