Y*ou may not be from Missouri, or anywhere near it but one peek at Sydney and you'd question the marks until you saw him run and clocked him with your own timepiece. I've seen lots of athlete* who didn't took the part, but none to j compare with Sydney Weighing only 136 pounds, and standing a scarce live feet *lx inches, he gives the impression of a chap who couldn't get through one round of strenuous p*reheat without a minute or two In the oxygen tent. To *ee him peeking shyly | through heavy rimmed tortoise shell glasses, to hear him talking , tn his soft voice, you'd swear he wasn't even strong enough to be a chess < hampion, much less run a blistering mile.
