He runs over to the side, grabs some flowers, smiles and takes a victory lap.

Compared with the finish of Bannister or many others, it makes me think he might have had even a little more in the tank.

Yet, check out this new report from Bath, Maine that features a running minister who is still running strongly in his 80’s. So, why is he connected to the Roger Bannister story? Watch it to find out!

I was surprised to read how Wes Santee, a runner from Kansas who also ran for the University of Kansas, charted a different path after his days of running ended. He was an incredible runner in this remarkable trio, though Bannister will always be the one people remember.
