Done.
What would you like to verify? I assume it's the part about her having the highest marks. I'm not a journalist, but let's see what we can find. Keep in mind that she didn't have the highest marks in the class of 1974, just the highest of those studying clinical practice. I'm going to wager that it's an informal thing for which there are no records.jaguar1 wrote:

You have to wonder. It's almost like the football coaches who have been fired for 'elaborating' on their resumes!
Here's a stupid statement:
In that race, Jean placed first among women 60-64, and was the first Canadian to do so in the 27 year history of the Marine Corps Marathon
Marmoreo would've been beaten by local phenom (I don't know her, I just looked it up) Alice Kearns by a few minutes in both races. Kearns is running in the 4:10 range for marathons, Marmoreo ran 4:16 at MCM. It's not like MCM is even remotely a competitive marathon, so why bother building herself up like that?
Her deceit, condescendence and mockery of running as a competitive sport is outrageous. Yes, there is no harm in slower people running races, but now running 7:00 for a marathon is portrayed as something that may or may not be possible. Finisher's medals are talked about with the same awe as championship medals, and all we hear about is how she demeaned the "individual struggles" of many others, not the fact that these people cheated in a footrace.
Has anyone contacted Running Times and Runner's World on this? Seriously.
or phone the bitch...416 591-7649
i cant stand the fact that she calls it a mistake and not cheating.
take some responsibility you sick biznatch.
I once ran the mile on a track in 3:55...I might have run through the infield a time or two, but I finished, right?
ponder the logic in this:
Finishing a race at all costs is too high a price to pay if it involves not doing the whole race, and not doing the right thing.

Come on over and get your medal.
You had the courage to start.
One thing that is funny is that "Jeans Marines" appears three times on the front page, when it is obvious that these aren't Marines in blue jeans. Jean's Marines!
The Johnsons really need to sharpen up the writing.
Just went to their bootleg website and it's clearly spelled "jeansmarines" even if it isn't proper grammer.

I take exception to the remarks about TNT. I recently completed the Columbus Marathon with the Central Ohio TNT group. Yes, I completed the entire 26.2 miles. I never considered cheating, nor was I encouraged do to so. I was properly trained and achieved my goal. My coaches are top notch marathoners who conduct themselves with the highest ethical standards.
If you're upset about the TNT remarks, you should email Jean and tell her yourself, because she's the one who claimed that they also shortcut (cheated) the marathon.
Whether TNT runners cheated or not may be an open question & I think that program is significantly more reputable than Jean's Morons, but it would not be too tough to look for runners with missing splits.
A missing split in and of itself is not an indication of cheating, but if the pace per mile during the missing split increased from 12 minutes per mile to 6 minutes per mile, it might warrant further investigation. Or immediate disqualification.
And a lifetime ban is completely appropriate.
I agree. Back off on Team in Training. Unless you've participated with this group, you're not qualified to speak. My TNT group had marathoners ranging from 3:15 to 5:00. Everyone trained hard and completed the Columbus Marathon, while raising funds for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. There are no cheaters in this group. We're runners with a goals of raising funds and completing a marathon. We've got great coaches, both sub 3:00 marathoner -- one of which who's run more than 75 marathons.
TNT is a great group. Take time to check out their Web site before passing on negative comments.
"Even though this has been the bypass route utilized by Leukemia Team-in-Training for their slowest participants in order to let them finish their own race . . ."
Direct your upset-ness at the right person.

We're on the case.
What's the big deal with friggin' finsisher's medals. I'm still in college, so I'm not doing any marathons yet, but when I do I won't be hanging the friggin' medal on my wall unless it's for a place. I may, however, put the results with my time on the fridge for a piece - if it's a solid time.
Finishers medals make good coasters. Put some sticky felt on the back of them, then cold beer on top of them.
I don't know but I've been told
Canadian poontang is mighty cold

Actually the San Fran Marathon finishers medal comes with felt on it to use as a coaster.
