Marty Liquori had a pretty fair career: sub-four in high school (Essex Catholic) ... made the 1968 Olympic team as a freshman at Villanova ... won three straight NCAA mile titles ... ranked No. 1 in the world in the 1500 in 1969 and 1971. ... beat Jim Ryun in the famous Dream Mile ... set four American records, including 13:15.06 in 5,000 in 1977.
Carl Lewis,Dennis Mitchell,John Marshall,Renaldo Nehemiah,all within a 5 year period or so. Also, Rich Kenah,high school teams of Willingboro,Winslow,Camdem,old Essex Catholic,CBA. Thats just a start.

How about "not so famous" from back-in-the-day: Tim Mcloone, Dean Matthews(?), Harry Nolan (masters), the 2:14 marathoner w/the blond mustache - good clues, right? - he quit after he realized everybody ran 2:14.
