The Real Story
- Because Houston McTear is the embodiment of human courage, and the details listed on this site
represent only a fraction of his amazing story.
- Because no athlete in American history has ever been as exalted, then as humbled,
then as exalted again, as Houston McTear.
- Because no other athlete has emerged from the horrors of hunger, poverty, and lack of shelter
to become a world-class athlete... twice in one life.
- Because no athlete has ever outrun both a speeding freight train and a thoroughbred horse before age nineteen.
- Because mentioning of his name in track circles never fails to bring about raised eyebrows
["Who told you about him?"], a smile, and a new story about his legendary talent.
- Because the real story of Houston McTear is even more amazing than the myths that surround him...
and his whole story will soon be told.
