Ryun had 3:51.1, 3:51.3, and 3:52.8. Keino 3:53.1.
Ryun was unbelievable in 66/67, when he ran those 3.51 times. No one else was close. It took nearly a decade for the rest of the field to catch up - Bayi in '75.
What do the last couple posts have to do with Dave Wottle?
Did he design the Universal weight machine? Did he design the Adidas shoes?
Getting back to the subject...
I ran for one of the many small colleges in Ohio in the early to mid 70s. We saw DW numerous times at XC and track meets. I remember him winning an All Ohio XC race at BGSU on their course with that one crazy man-made hill on the course that was otherwise pancake flat. He wasn't just an 800/mile mid-d guy. The guy was a beast.
Yes you are correct about Dave having impressive range. Like when he finished 12th at NCAA Cross Country in 1971 in 30:06, when Pre won in 29:14. This was great endurance for a man who would win Olympic Gold at 800m the next year.
