Track Club Proposed to Boost Tyson and Area Sprinters
Keith Pritt, former Charleston High coach, urges formation of a local track club and indoor facility to train Olympic hopefuls, citing Mike Tyson’s Olympic trials in Eugene. Tyson tore a hamstring in the 200 meters semifinal after a strong prelim, highlighting need for better local support and equipment. He remains hopeful for a 1980 Olympic bid with continued training and possible club affiliation, while experts discuss broader selection and prep for the games.
