Who Was He?
An outline
- Houston McTear was the World's Fastest Human. He is widely considered the fastest sprinter to ever live.
- He came from the most meager circumstances imaginable: a shack at the end of a dirt road,
in the rural backwoods of Florida, where his entire family, including 8 siblings, slept in the same room
under a leaking roof, and a bowl of dry cereal was considered a meal.
- As an untrained high school junior, McTear tied the world record in the 100-yard dash (9.0 seconds).
- He was on the verge of global stardom-twice- but lost everything due to bad luck,bad choices,
and a disastrous relationship with a world-class con man.
- McTear lived homeless on Santa Monica Beach for the better part of the eighties.
- With the help of a female Swedish sprinting champion, 31-year-old McTear rehabilitated himself and
embarked upon a comeback even more surprising than his initial success fourteen years earlier.
