Dennis Mitchell has always been the coolest sprinter...one of my fav's... I qualified to run in the mens 400m trials in New Orleans..weeks before the trials in a training session, I overheated and tripped, tearing my posterior cruciate ligament...my running career was over, But I went to New Orleans cast and all to support some of my friends running that day...I saw Carl Lewis under the stands and asked if I could get a photo taken and he yelled at me...he wasn't even racing that day...he stormed off...guess who comes up to me, DENNIS MITCHELL...he took a pic with me and from there on, Mitchell was my fav....humble, nice man...not to mention fast as hell :)
An absolute demon on the track ran in my opinion but I’m Biased as I competed then in the golden age of sprinting against guys like linford Christie,Carl Lewis,Ben Johnson,Calvin Smith,Leroy Burrell and Andre Carson where he was always in the mix for medals
