What ever happened to South Eastern Mass (Umass Dartmouth)
runner James White. 1985-86 won everything possible in Div 3- National champ Cross country and outdoor 10k . ran low 14s for 5k and 29 ish for 10k. Went to Nike Boston then ???
Was very tough competitor
Is this the same Jim White who ran for Elmhurst York in Highschool and went 4:07 his senior year?
No White was from out in western mass- Mohawk trail maybe
Came out of the closet. Lives up in Lowell area maybe does not run much I think.
California,
If you know White went to Elmhurst York and ran 4:07 then you would know that he went to Indiana. I get real sick of people coming on here acting all ignorant, when they know they are being fake and trying to play "dumb". GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a Jim White who graduated from Mohawk in 1981, must be the same guy. I didnt realize he had gone on to do all that.
oh and I'll ask around see if anybody around here knows what happend to him.
Didnt know that he was in. He did seem a little on the flamboyant side.

Chill the f... out, dude. I happened to have heard about Jim White from my highschool coach who raced him when they were both in highschool. My coach told me he ran a 4:07 mile and ran for York HS. I didn't bother to ask him where Jim White went to college. I really didn't care to be honest.
My bad,
Sometimes people come on here acting ignorant and everything. I happen to know "Whitey" and he was amazing but overused in H.S. Food for thought:
Jim White-
Friday May 17, 1985
Sectional Meet
3200- 9:06
800- 1:54.9
1600- 4:16.3
4x4- :49 split
And he tripled at state the next week I heard-2 prelims on Friday and 3 finals on Saturday in 100 degree temps. Did he ever mention to you how he felt about running so many races?
TIRED! He ran a few decent races in College but he was soon burned out like all "YORKIES" are if they ever go on to college. He had mad abilities but was used up by the time he was 21 yrs old- very sad story.
* He was All-American once or twice but there are a lot of non All-American who have made olympic teams, so it's not that big of a deal.
That's too bad. It takes a pretty damn talented runner to split a 49 after three middle distance races and probably 10 or 20 minutes after the mile.
Guys
We are talking about the Jim White from MA. National Division 3 champ back in the mid 80's.
Are you saying White is a "MO" how do you know?
I was on his team
Team he ran on or "team he plays for"
ran for, my man
No offence - respect
Did you run at SMU or for Nike Boston?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Matt Choi was drinking beer halfway through the Boston Marathon
Des Linden: "The entire sport" has changed since she first started running Boston.
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
