Wyoming, the state with smallest population, gave us Sam Burley and Christine Clifton.

After a google search, I found out who this Clifton woman is. She may be good now, but never was when she lived there. Let's discuss athletes who were good when they actually lived in Wyoming or claim the state of Wyoming as home. Not Connecticut.

Some of the best (as I've stated before):

Sam Burley - Cheyenne

Ryan Bolton - Gillette

Jim McCreery - Gilette

Ariana Lee - Lander

Alicia Craig - Gillette

John Godina - Cheyenne

Shanelle Porter - Cheyenne

Lance Deal - Riverton (I think?)

Jeremiah Johnson - Laramie

Shauna Smith - Sheridan

Jessica Fox - Burns

Rob Marney - Torrington

Jessica Cross - Powell

Lee Roney - Cheyenne

Mike Devereaux - Casper

Jason Drake - Gillette

Cheryl Harmon - Green River

Jeremiah Johnson? Hey, why not Bill Cody?

I think Kevin Castille right now. Of all time I dont know

More recent Louisiana guys, who ran in college:

Ryan Travis - Arkansas

Robbie LeBlanc - LSU

Schuler - TN

Moran - Arkansas

Dave Gordon (Oly, U of Montana) has to be on any WA list.

Alaska: Marcus Dunbar (former indoor national mile champ), David Morris (Former NCAA 3k champ and U.S. marathon record holder), Don Clary (Olympian in 84 and multiple all american for Oregon), Mike Gomez (13th Footlocker nationals junior year of high school) Carl Blackhurst (U.S. Champs finalist last year in steeple). I'm sure there are more, but these are a few.

Jim Shine (13:59 and 28:52) and Richard Lee 8:30? in the steeple are both also from Alaska.

Doris Heritage

Jack Hoyt (not a runner - but a slong vaulter)

pardon for asking but who is that?

Carey Hollis fastest miler ever in the state 4.09.66 in 1966 from Hobbs, well atleast ne was the best in high school, after high school is a whole different story. but I'm not taking anything away from Krummenacker or Young because they were both GREAT.

New Mexico: David Krummenacker (Las Cruces) George Young (Roswell)

Idaho has been consistently produced state champions for many years

I suppose it depends on what you mean.

1) lived there for a long time

2) born there

What about Tom Fleming???

Any runners from Iraq or Afgnaistan??

Doug Herron needs to be added, still number 6 all time in 800 (HS)1:48.03. Christine Clark grew up in Montana but her best running didn't happen until living in Alaska. Kaarin Knudson (2:04 800 runner at Oregon) Sarah and Caitlin Reese (both 2:06 collegiate runners). Richard Lee in the steeple.

great call on Herron.

and Minnesota wins hands down in the female hotness category..good God, not even close.
