I just finished reading The Runner and did a little more research on him. Saw he ran 4:18/9:20 while legitin high school and 8:58 when he went back, but haven't found his PRs after that. What kinds of times was he running at Wyoming, Princeton, and after that?
The book shows a letter where he writes about a few of his races at Wyoming. Mostly 800s from what I remember, around 1:51-1:52.
HS.
1:54.5
4:13.8
9:07.6. All in yards.
Alltime.
1:51.36 m
4:04.7 y
8:47.44 y
29:08.9 m
2:16:40 marathon
Can't find a 5000 time prior to 1990.
Where did you find those stats?
PR's at Princeton:
3K - 8:29.55 (indoor)
5K - 14:51.60
These are direct from the 1990-1991 Princeton Track media guide.
I would assume that his PR's from his stint at Wyoming are faster.
At the Univ. of Texas track (circa 1981) I saw him run workout in like 14:54 for 3 miles. I can't believe I remember his time.

Nope. He was caught at Palo Alto High School during the cross country season, so he never re-ran high school track.

1:52.1. 1978 WAC indoor, Pocatello ID
2:09.9. 1000y, 1978 indoor, Air Force Academy

Sorry, no link. I just have the actual physical booklet.
