kids wouldn't know who bob kennedy is, bill mills though isn't a surprise he's easily the greatest american runner in our history.
question greatest runner, however ran the most memorable race
Haha, sweet! That would be like a dream come true for me if I ever have kids.
Look at Mills! LOOK AT MILLS!!!
But has he heard of Billy Mays?
I would guess than very few 8 year olds know about BK.
I'll bet there are more 8 year olds than 28 year olds who have heard of Bob Kennedy.

I knew who Bobby Kennedy was when I was 8 years old. We did a school assignment on political assassinations.
Does your son watch the NCAA tournament? During a break in the action, they presented a short piece on Billy Mills. I was shocked to see this, but I'd venture a guess that's where he heard of Mr. Mills.
No he does not he has not been watching any of the tourney with me.
you've got to be kidding. the greatest american runner ever? are you serious? this is not to take anything away from his accomplishments, but there is no way that billy mills is the greatest american runner ever.

I'm sure it had something to do with him being Native American.

Maybe not, but Mills ran the greatest 10000 ever run by an American.

If you are ever feeling unmotivated in your running go to Youtube and look up Billy Mills.

8 or 9. I did a book report on a biography of Jim Thorpe in 3rd grade.
