| Sumario: | When John McDonnell began his coaching career at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville - choosing it over Norman, Oklahoma, because Fayetteville reminded him of his native Ireland - he could hardly have imagined that he would become the most successful coach in the history of American collegiate athletics. But, in thirty-six years at the university, he amassed a staggering résumé of accomplishments, including forty national championships (eleven cross country, nineteen indoor track, and ten outdoor track), the most by any coach in any sport in NCAA history. This biography tells the story of the McDonnell's life and legacy, from his childhood growing up on a farm in 1940s County Mayo, Ireland, to his own running career, to the beginnings of his life as a coach, to the great athletes he mentored along the way. |
