Who is a "Streets Will Never Forget" runner?

Matt Baxter and Tyler Day

Throw Peter Lomong in there too!

I was struggling to be gender inclusive. Molly should be too good for this but I think you're right that with her records being broken, the current crop may forget just how dominant she was domestically. And famously pipped at the line by Emily Infeld for her best chance at a medal in 2015.

I'll add some more ladies but maybe I'll also show my LA bias from the early 2010s. Amy Weissenbach and Cami Chapus. These two ladies were national forces at Harvard Westlake, then both went to Stanford and I think both left the team at some point. A funny story is my high school teammate and I were out for a run in the valley, doing a fartlek where each block was a pickup. As we were coming up, we passed this guy and this girl just out for a jog. They caught us at a stoplight and we struck up a conversation about track season and goals. My teammate said he was trying to break 4:40 in the mile and the girl said "me too!" That was Cami Chapus. This would have been 2012 so Cami was eventually beaten in the state final by a junior from the Santa Cruz area named Nikki Hiltz.

To illustrate how good Rono was, he showed up to the Stanford XC invite in 2007 and waxed all the DI guys (including Big Wave). BUT he failed to beat one guy that definitely deserves mention on this thread:

Anna Willard. She held the Steeple Chase AR until it was broken a few weeks later by someone named Jenny Barringer.

Claire Durkin. Dominated at the Ohio state meet, dominated the Footlocker Midwest region, fifth overall at Footlocker nationals. Hung up the spikes after her senior year. Went to Stanford. Became a doctor.

For the 5 people that used to watch his videos, raw vegan minimalist runner Nicolo 'El Coyote Loco' Fillippazzo(sorry if i got his last name wrong). Long Island legend, multi time AA at Adelphi, sub 14 in the 5k, 2:21 in the marathon(in xc flats), and he documented it all on his YT page/strava. Unfortunately he retired from competive running right before the supershoe boom(not that he'd ever wear them) but it seems like he's had a pretty eventful life since leaving the sport. Recently, and ik this cause I still tune in to his channel sometimes, he's been working remotely for a large bank.

Trent Briney - D2 all-American at UCCS, 4th in the 2004 USA Olympic Trials Marathon.

Really fun concept.

The first name that popped to mind for me was German. I think Ben True will definitely qualify some day, but it hasn't quite been long enough.

Anyway, to add a new name that definitely qualifies depending on what streets you're from -- Dan Coval.

Dude walked into Reggie Lewis Track Center for HS National Indoors and you thought a combination of Prince/Michael Jackson entered the building. The place was buzzing. Then shortly after that season it was basically all over and he was like Keyser Soze, you didn't know he was real or just a story to tell the kids.
