Yes, but I believe coach Eyestone's track bests were better than all of the runners ahead of him, with the exception of Mantz.

Ed had 7:51/13:32/27:41 and 1:02:56 half credentials, long before Supershoes etc. The 27:41 was top notch back in 1985. Coach Ed was a monster back then.

100%

Anyone who says the "super shoes" don't make a difference is delusional. The fact of the matter is WHO CARES!!! Ask any elite runner from the 80's and 90's and most don't give 2 sh^ts about how "super shoes" have made a huge difference in today's performances.
