I know he never ran one in a race, but I'm told by someone that ran for Oregon in the mid-70's that Dellinger made everyone run one at least once in practice to see if they were any good at it. Any other ex-ducks out there know if Pre ever did this, or was he simply so good at 5k that Dellinger didn't bother having him try to steeple. Given Pre's reputation for toughness he might have been pretty good at it.
