A wide view of Bowerman's letter.

Bowerman's athletes won 24 individual NCAA titles and four team championships.

In addition, he coached 10 runners to sub-4:00 minute miles at a time when such a feat was a rarity.

33 of his athletes qualified for the Olympics.

"The Bowerman" - US track and field's highest collegiate accolade - is named for this legendary coach.
