"By the way - The Dartmouth race I remember! In fact, that was the key race that got me into the Millrose in '82. My coach was bugging Howard Schmertz about me running. Howard wasn't sure because I was only a Junior. What was said before the race (and I'm glad my coach didn't tell me) is that if I won that Darthmouth race then I could run Millrose... I remember you taking off and having to really focus because you really had quite a lead"

I got a similar message from Howard. He said I would be the number 1 seed in the 2 mile at Dartmouth but his reputation was at stake for letting me into the mile. After going to Millrose in 1981, I really wanted to run the HS mile at the Garden. I knew the only way to have a shot at winning at Dartmouth was to jump the field, I went at 1000 meters and ran about a 62-63 and then was dying the last 150 when you flew by me.

Your 61 first 400 at Millrose just destroyed me, I did not remember much about that race other than coming in last. It was fun to see that I did make a move up to the lead pack with about 3 laps to go, then when the pace quickened again I was done.

Great video, great race!! "S t a h r"

Speed, tenacity, attitude, heart = respect

Dunno if it has been posted, but here is the link to the exciting Penn DMR of '78, Mike Stahr anchoring the Hoyas.

Mike- what was your split and the overall time (WR at the time)?

I'm also curious what happened to Shola, so this post is mostly a bump -- Shola also had a sister Nnenna (sp?). They went to my high school (a decade before me), and I know Nnenna had a longer career. I also remember hearing that they did not run with the high school team?

Nnenna did indeed have a longer career at Villanova and beyond- including some hot "track girls" calendar pics.

bumping a good thread

Fullem lives! Catch me via email dude. Haven't heard from you in a while.

Your mention of the '81 race in the snow in Malone, NY got me thinking of Marc Gosselin, an '82 graduate of Malone. He's now a radiologist in Portland, OR but I got to know him well when he did a transitional year of residency in Marshfield, WI during the 1991-92 year. I know he had done quite well as a runner having run at GWI in the spring of '82. He used to relate how competitive it was in the area with the likes of you, Mike Stahr, Marty Beauchamp, and several other big names.

I googled Shola Lynch and found a bunch of stuff. She's won a Peabody award, worked for documentary maker Ken Burns ("The Civil War") and was on Sesame Street as a child. There is a video interview with her on the first link

Thanks for posting. Great race. Does anybody have the 81 and/or 82 millrose 5000? Those were great races?

Hudzik, will do. I am getting my knee scoped in 2 days, torn meniscus.

I remember Marc Gosselin well, NYS HS champ in 3200 in 1982. Great kid and a great competitor. Grant Whitney went for the state record in that race and collapsed in the heat at Cornell on the last lap and Goose picked him off. Tell him hello for me please. I ran at Eddy Games at Union college my senior year and Marc, myself and Miles Irish hooked up for a great battle, they both got the better of me that day. Miles range was so huge, I think he won the 600 and 2 mile at Sectionals one year.

the Millrose 5K's in 1981 and 1982 were 2 of the greatest races I have ever seen. Salazar going out in 4:10ish the 1st mile and Nyambui just hanging on to him to outkick him at end. To have run 13:20 on that track is incredible. Equal to Sub 13:10 at the Armory.

the Belger vs Paige duels were also legendary. the only runner with greater acceleration than Stahr was Paige. Don was just amazing and also last in the Millrose HS mile out of Baldwinsville HS, NY

I remember how explosive Don Paige's kick was. There was one 1000 yard race in which he blew the doors off of Belger. Belger did not know what hit him. I think that was 83 Mobil but I could be wrong. Doug Padilla's kick was also untouchable. He would be able to wind up and take off at will and when he was in full flight, he still looked like he had another 3 gears left.

I have a lot of these races that are talked about above. They are pretty awesome - I actually watch a number of them while cutting some of my races. I'll go back to Mobil, Millrose, etc. and cut some of these and post them on my YouTube account.
