Tarzan Brown is from Narragansett RI.

I stand corrected...I thought he or his family moved to the Mystic area after his early success.

New York:

Matt Centrowitz

John Gregorek

John Trautman

Mike Stahr

Miles Irish

Bob Beamon

Chris Graff

He may have Ray. I know there is a race named after him in Mystic. However, he was born in RI and lived there for some time during his marathon success. Tarzan Brown and Les Pawson are the only Boston marathon winners from RI.

I have been through the names and as an outsider, I ask where were the following from :

Pat Porter

Dick Beardsley

Johnny Grey

Steve Scott

Mark Nenow [ loved the stories about this guy ]

Mary Decker

Sorry, if there a few repeats .. but I didn't see them mentioned

CT:

Dan Wilson.

U...C...O....N....N!!! UCONN! UCONN! UCONN!

New York

Frank Shorter*+

John Trautman*

Pete Pfitzinger*

John Tuttle*

Brad Sumner

Al Oerter*+

Ross Donohue

Dick Buerkle*

Jen Rhines*

Matt Centrowitz (one-time US record 5K holder)

John Gregorek*

Mike Stahr

Chris Graff

Cheri Goddard

*Olympian

+Medalis

What about the elder Ron Hussey? What about Marty Glickman? And New York?s Paddy McCrary almost broke the world record in the 400 hurdles, sadly in a race where two other Americans shattered it.

Why did I think that Shorter was originally from Massachusetts (after his family returned to the States).

Glenn McFadden might be another overlooked CT runner.
