i ran in three national championships - one in birmingham, one in philadelphia, and one in st. louis. they were all consecutive, but i'm not sure if that was the order. this would have been in the early nineties.
anyone else there? how did you finish and how did your running career pan out?
I was on the 13-14 year old national championship team in 1992 in philadelphia (Greater Cleveland Cross Country). I was 40th place and 7th man on the team. Ran in high school and for a D3 college, but still some of the best memories were from those days.
I ran in the AAU/TAC nationals in in 1979 in the 400 Meters age group 10/11 year olds in Santa Rosa California. 62.4 was the qualifying time which I was just under on 2 occasions. I had previously won the SCMAF Southern California Championship race before going to Santa Rosa. Is was quite a wake up call at AAU/Tac nationals. I remember it being 105 degrees out and the track was black and was said to be as hot as 130. The kid that won was like from Alabama or something and he looked 28. He Ran 55.7 and on that day I got smoked! There is always a faster gun slinger out there if you go looking for it!
