US Cross Country Legend Pat Porter dies in plane crash. Pay your respects by learning about his legacy. #remember

Porter was only a 4:29 miler in high school, but after transferring to Adams State he flourished under the guidance of Joe Vigil . Porter was at his best in cross-country, where he won the US title from 1982 to 1989. During that time frame, he finished in the top 10 in the world at least four times with a high finish of fourth in 1984. Porter, who had a 10,000 personal best of 27:46.80, was also a two-time 10,000 Olympian (1984 and 1988).
