Did you mean first Athletics (track and field) athlete in Bedford County histroy?

Brian Shimer had Bedford County roots and competed in the bobsled in the Winter Olympics. Didn't he medal at the last games???? At one time I think he teamed up with Hershell Walker.

Sell is an animal. I hear of workouts he has done like 20x400 in 65-70 seconds with a 15 second rest and 8x1mile repeats at 4:45 pace with a 1 minute jog rest between each repeat.

Unless you've run distance in track, you have NO IDEA how hard this is.

Lemmy...Big difference between being FROM Bedford County and going to HS here and "Bedford County roots" ... I think that Shimer guy was actually from out west somewhere, just had some relatives here.

Your right there titan. That stuff is for the birds. It amazes me how someone that went to the same school i did is doing such an astounding job. We can only wish the best for him.

Brain Sell will run in the 2004 US Olympic Marathon Trials on Sunday January 11th in Orlando Fl. I wish him luck as I'm sure many of you also do.

American male record holder Khalid Knannouchi is not running due to injuries. In my humble opinion Khalid was a threat to medal.
