You guys also need to add a guy named Colin McConnell from Edison(Huntington Beach). He was a moderate milage guy who ran 70-80/wk. Ran 8:55 to win SSCIF (SoCal) while out kicking Spillsbury(Foothill,Santa Ana) and George Guierre(sp?) out of Santa Barbara HS. Then he went on to get 2nd at Cal state 2m to Hulst in the windy sand pit of Berkeley HS in '76.
On another note Bill St John(Mater Dei HS) was a good one to bring up. St John was 5th at Arcadia Invite running 8:55 (McConnell 9th in 9:00), Hunt was 1st, 8:45, and Hulst 2nd, 8:47, in a real 2-mile, not no sloppy 3200m.
