Native Sun News Today: Long distance running on decline in Indian Country

HERMOSA It has been 57 years since Billy Mills won his gold medal at 10,000 meters in Tokyo, and for two decades before he ran, and for over four decades after he ran, Native runners were the dominant force in South Dakota distance running.
