SMTC had alot of decent guys in the late mid to late 70's, when all of their guys lived and trained in santa monica...not just sign on for trip to europe and wear the jersey as alot did in the 80s......some of the top guys were: jerald jones; 3:57 mile, 13:30 5k, jeff jirile, 3:58 mile, tom bryant, charlie mcmullen, 3:56 mile, 215 marathon, bill mccoulough, 8:25 steeple and many guys who were high placers in local races and would typically crowd the top 15 with 8-9 guys, from 29:30 to 30:30. they had guys from 1:47 in the 800m to sub 220 in the marathon, who were not national class guys but very good on a regional level. They were very deep between 1977 and 1980 with alot of guys from back east and the midwest who moved out west, in search of prolonging their post collegiate careers.
