I was so pleased to go the Track and Field News website and
see a very nice article about Elijah Greer and his coach Bob Williams. I met
Bob four years when were both working with the Nike Oregon Project. Getting to
kn
ow Bob and work with him was the high point of that experience. He is a great
coach. He ran the steeplechase at Oregon under Bill Bowerman. He is a Bowerman
disciple, I loved talking to him about the Bowerman system, and it was a
terrific education. Over the years he has consistently applied the Bowerman
principles to produce a string of outstanding runners. His latest is Elijah
Greer who has the leading 800 meter runner in the nation last year as a Junior.
If you ever get a chance to meet Bob you will enjoy it. He is a wonderful
person and a great coach.
