The other thread got me thinking.
What university has the fastest 5 man alumni marathoner team.
I can think of the following to start with:
Oregon
2:08:52a Alberto Salazar
2:11:13a Rudy Chapa
2:15:50 Jason Hartmann
...... Probably Others
Michigan
2:09:00a Greg Meyer
2:10:41a Bill Donakowski
2:15:47 Mike McGuire
Colorado
2:09:41 Alan Culpepper
2:10:29 Kirk Pfeffer
2:14:01 Dathan Ritzenhien
2:15:xx Ed torres
ed torres ran 2:22
Ok, we'll drop him from the CU team.
Bill Rodgers school had a lot of damn fine marathoners.
You can add Todd Snyder, Tommy Greenless, and Nick Stanko to the U-M team--all current sub 2:22 guys.
Iowa State
Jon Brown-2.09
Henrick Jorgensen 2.10
Steve Brooks 2.13
Jonah Koech 2.14 +
Yobes Ondeiki ? Not sure he ran one and who knows how fast he would have run.
Add Art Boileau to Oregon, I think. Too lazy to look up his time.
Possibly Jim Hill too.
There is probably some northeastern college that has a group of 2:15-2:20 guys from Bostons past. Where did Hodgie-san go?
Art Boileau 2:11:15 Boston '86

University of Minnesota
Leonard "Buddy" Edelen: 2:14
Garry Bjorklund: 2:10
Steve Plascencia: 2:14 (or faster?)
my buddy squid: 2:17
??
UTEP?
Nyambui and Shahanga in 2:09-2:10 range.
Who else?
Kenny Moore, Oregon, ran at least 2:11:xx
I think this was discussed in the past.
