I beat 100m world record holder Tim Montgomery and gold medalist Derrick Adkins in a sprint in Japan a few years ago. They were shocked because I was wearing blue jeans.

In 1984, I beat Rod Dixon in a 5k road race in Philadelphia just weeks before he was to run in the Olympic Marathon. Pretty sure he was just there for the appearance fee.
I beat Steve Young the 49ers NFL Hall o Famer in a 5k... however it wasn't even close he ran like 30 minutes!

His 1979 NCAA X-C Race doesn't count lol.
As a 9:20+ HS guy back in the day I ended up beating most of my regional 9:00 HS guys in Div 1 X-C---most were from Villanova, Rutgers *(they were ranked 13th back in the day), Princeton, Manhattan. I Gave Bill Krohn / Carey Pinkowski all they can handle in X-C. Got to know some of them --a bunch of cool guys.
