NYers is a 7:15 one lap around the Central Park reservoir plausible for a Hunter College frosh in 1960?
Could 14:40 have been the BKT for two laps back in 1960?
What is the current one & two lap BKT?
Thanks
Could any NJNY track club runner go sub 7 for the one lap?
I think CPTC might know?
Two laps is almost precisely 5K.
Obviously there are NJ/ NY Track Club members who could break 14:00 for that, but they might be wise to leave an effort that hard for a race.
I'm not official records for this are kept. How could they be? They were often hard solo efforts in practice, witnessed by no one.
What's the strava record?

Probably someone on a bike claiming to be running.

***Induction Class of 1995
Art Backman
Cross Country
Track & Field
A four-year letter winner, Backman was a pivotal member of the undefeated Hunter cross country teams that won 28 consecutive meets spanning four years. In 1958, he captured the Municipal College Cross Country Championship, posting a time of 27:14. He was also a top ten Collegiate Track Conference (CTC) medalist. In track and field, Backman set a school record in 1958 in the 880-yard run with a time of 1:57.3. In 1959, he earned a silver medal at the outdoor CTC championships in the half-mile. ***
If the 880 record was 1:57.3 in '58 A frosh miler-2 miler running the equivalent of a 1:56.0 just 2 years later might be a bit fast for a typical Hunter runner.

RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Rest in Peace Adrian Lehmann - 2:11 Swiss marathoner. Dies of heart attack.
