re: Wilt Chamberlin

For Haverford you forgot a few -

3:42.01 Charlie Marquardt, Haverford, 2016

3:43.75 Jason Bernstein, Haverford 2001

3:44.50 Kevin Foley, Haverford 1982 NCAA Championships (1)

3:44.71 Liam ONeill, Haverford 1986 Princeton Invitational

Some guy named McElligott ran like 8:10, 29:14 and ran in the 1992 10,000m at the trials. Also he ran for the US at world XC in 1996.

I will try to think of some more one off athletes from Haverford as I peruse their list of 10 national champions. Pretty piss poor for a school with an enrollment of a whopping 1290 students!

re: the sauce

Harlan Holden, Bates College (Maine) 800 meters in 1912 olympics.

Won his prelim heat in 1:58.1, then took up with a Swedish girl and failed to advance.

USA swept the 800 taking the top 4 places. That's right, 4.

Hoo-ah.

Cathy Schiro went to Oregon straight out of high school. Transferred to UNH after some ordinary seasons as a Duck. Did she actually run any races for the Wildcats? Graduated hs in '85 and made '88 Olympic team in marathon. Her son made Footlocker final 2016.

Cathy left Oregon after one semester. She attended UNH off and on between training blocks in NZ and professional commitments for New Balance. She still lives in the Dover, NH area, runs 40+ miles a week, and teaches music.

Dartmouth-- Will Geohegan

Some of these responses show the lack of interest in the history of our sport.

Tom Laris is a 1968 10,000 meter Olympian who graduated from Dartmouth.

Dartmouth also produced Bob Kempainen, two time Olympian (92 and 96)

Also from Haverford (going back a bit):

Jim Grosholz (1:51.2 880y in 1946 when world record was 1:49.2)

Philip Noel-Baker (silver medal in 1920 Olympic 1500m, later won the 1959 Nobel Peace Prize)

re: Had Some Myself

Mentioning Haverford, Villanova, Oregon, Stanford, and Dartmouth in this particular thread is simply utter stupidity. Those of us who are not teenagers know of their tradition and respect it VERY much. Now if you'd like to start another thread arguing who is the best from each college/university go ahead and do that...

I'm just tired of people who idolize Pre and act like he was the only good thing to come out of Oregon. The U of O is a distance-running mecca and has produced huge names like Galen Rupp, Matthew Centrowitz, and Ashton Eaton. People like Mo Farah have come from all over the world to train in this state and it's not just because Pre was here it's because Nike has their headquarters and elite special training camps over here.
If you guys really knew what you were talking about you would agree with me on the undisputed fact that Oregon is a distance powerhouse and has produced many elite runners. They win National Championships like nothing and have been dominating the distance events for quite some time now. It's insulting to compare the U of O to schools like Bowling Green and Holy Cross. It's not even a comparison.

Rupp and Centro didn't even finish at Oregon and neither blossomed until they left. Oregon was clearly holding them back

Just one,

Bernie Madoff, he was pretty quick and slippery.

Also need to mention Pat Porter at Adams State, another great Joe Vigil coached runner.

re: soothsayer the real one 1

It is bad form to call someone a "Moran" when the word is spelled "Moron".
