Georgetown last year, at BU.

I think it was the Valentine's Day Invite.

Bartlesmeyer, Bile, Manahan, and Lederhouse

I quoted the wrong year, it was 1981.

Two of them were still Ducks. Martin graduated in 1980, Chapa in 1981, McChesney in 1982.

Inferred from looking at the Duck's all-American list in their media guide at goducks.

So Gtown and Syracuse are the only ones with 3 sub 3:58.95 guys in the same race.

And Oklahoma. I wouldn't be shocked to learn about more teams doing. Arkansas had the runners to do it pretty much every year in the 90s. No clue if they did.

When did Oklahoma have 3 guys under 3:58.95 in the same race?

I am reposting this to answer that question about Oklahoma.

re: jjjjj

I don't see it...

I only see one Oklahoma guy below 3:58.95

Interesting about Syracuse is the fact that they never had a sub 4 min guy until last year

They never had a sub 3:59 guy (ever) until that race

Now they have 3

In the same race

First race of the year

+ they had another guy run 7:54 on the same day.

I remember watching this, and it was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this question.
Georgetown
So it's official? I have early onset alzheimers? I remembered Gtown having a bunch fo sub-4s but didn't think they were sub-359.

Correct. Especially since last week you said I had a bad memory for not knowing Tinman was Hunter's coach.

Why is 3:59 the line? Why not 4:00? It seems so random. Is there something special about 3:59?
it's faster. 4 @ sub-4 has been done many more times.

Many times? When?

re: Vutfftffftfcfttcfctf

It helps when you get one of the best recruits out of North America in the last 10 years and have a 3:38 1,500m runner transfer in. Should have one hell of a DMR though

re: rojo

And now 3:59 is far off from NCAA champs time. How times have changed
