Why? My guess would be that per capita, there are more elite runners coming out of Oolitic, than any other city or town in the nation.

I think you are more aware of people being from Indiana because of the long drawn out posts this past year about its classic marathon that was going to happen and then not going to happen and on and on and on...............

Why so many? Because of the strong Olympic history of the state.

Indiana wants me but I can't go back there.

Ivan Fuqua! Dont forget him! From the same town as Orville Redenbacker, and Jimmy Hoffa.

Hoffa lives in the Garden State. He couldn't run fast enough.

That site is wrong, he was Born in Bloomington.
