I was 2 years older than Falcon when we competed in high school. While he never beat me he was the only runner that I ever heard closing in on me at the finish of the mile in my last 2 years. Chris Zinn who became his teammate at Arkansas was a more formible runner then and through his high school career but was a slow as molasses if you could stay in striking distance. However Falcon had that remarkable speed that you knew would ultimately enable him to become a tremendous middle distance runner. Sad that his career was so short but sounds like he enjoys his next stage in life.

I have looked for this for years.  It used to be on youtube and disappeared.  Thanks for posting!

would love to see the World championships win and the Goodwill Games gold runs!

I ran against him in a couple of road races in Missouri. He was the fastest runner i ever run against. Very strong with a incredible stride. I ran the first mile in 4.41 in a half marathon and he was so far ahead of me he was making a turn two blocks up the road. My guess his first mile was 4.20.

Joe ran a 4 08 mile at state.. 2 years later a runner ran a 4 04 mile... They both became elite runners...

I saw him win state in the mile and the two mile in Missouri..

Fast..

Lets gooooo!!!!

Do you happen to have a copy of the 1992 USA Olympic Trials 1500m? I remember Joe fell in that race.  Was upset he didn't make the olympic team
