It’s a goddamn shame this kid won’t be competing at worlds or Olympics as things stand right now.

Who cares about the Dreamers! Please fast-track King Ches citizenship application!!!

I'm honestly surprised someone has this list.

It's winter and everyone is bored to death.

No link youngster. No internet back then. Nice review in T and F on the race. Or check out John McDonnell’s excellent book ( The Most Successful Coach in NCAA History) for an even better description of the race.

“ no link to results or it didn’t happen “ give me a break dude. Have some respect.

Must not have been punctuation back in those days, either. Or a sense of humor.

I’m so sorry sir, I am the dumbest idiot on lessrun.. I been in my moms basement wacking off too much. Please forgive me. Your mile time is 2 minutes faster than my best time from hs.

Doug, congrats on your race. Sadly, the majority of the world does not care about it, and they definitely don't hire based on your mile PR. I hope that employers were able to look past your abysmal grammar.

On another note, you are clearly suffering in this chapter of life if you are having to try to bring attention to yourself from an event that occurred 30+ years ago.

Cheers, and enjoy the Super Bowl! It is an event that the vast majority of Americans actually care about.

Wow - Consig must have smashed you in some race (races) 30+ years ago to still have that massive chip on your shoulder.

Pointing out that someone actually ran 3:52 on a flat track is hardly trying to draw attention to yourself. Even if running 3:55 as a 6'4" giraffe on a flat track is something worth pointing out!

Fayetteville track may have been short :)

1000 Metres 2:19.64 Fayetteville (USA) 17 JAN 1986

1500 Metres 3:38.73 Fayetteville (USA) 01 MAR 1986

One Mile 3:55.91 Fayetteville (USA) 25 JAN 1986

I was actually born in 1993, so I didn't know who he was until this thread.

I don't. I'm sure I am not alone either. The more people like this run and succeed for the USA the less I watch.

I concur.

You know what was REALLY impressive on a 200m flat track? Michael Johnson's 45.32 400 at Fairfax in '96.

Having met Doug in recent years, I can say that you couldn't be further from the truth. He's living the life with a great wife, nice kids, and work that he enjoys. Based on what I know, I would assume his net worth is well in excess of $1 million and so the term "food stamps" is probably not even in his vocabulary. Like any competitive runner should, he enjoys relishing in the good ol' days, but he always gives credit where credit is due.

Big student of the sport I see. Typical.

The old track at the Garden where the Millrose used to be held was banked. In fact the bank was quite steep. The track measured 11 laps to the mile which made it tough. Before the 1970s most of the colleges in the Northeast had similar track which was assembled in pieces. Often the pieces were stored under the stands. In the winter the track was put together on the infield of the outdoor track. The tracks were made of wood. Whenever it snowed it was just shoveled. The athletes adjusted themselves to those turns so that it was second nature to run them. By the 70s many colleges built field houses with indoor tracks often measure 220 yds or 200 meters in later years. when they came to the Garden one could observe that many had trouble with the turns.

About the record on a flat track for a mile. Look at the meets held on the old tracks before they built banked 200 meter tracks.

Over 1 million dollars?! And he couldn’t even buy a sense of humor?

Doug and consig came off like dicks by taking a joke too seriously. Old timers get mad so easily.

To be fair, I think you’re being unfair because Doug C. Is just pointing out a glaring error in the list of 200m flat track indoor miles. Of course, he communication style leaves something to be desired, but not like he’s some bitter old dude stuck in the glory days.

And you sound butt hurt man, get yourself a bandaid and a box of cleenex and some bon bons and take your soap opera watchin’ candy a** somewheres else

I'm glad that Doug has a wonderful wife and kids that he is happy with, as I also hope that most of the board has a wonderful relationship with their spouse or partner.

With that being said, I hope that Doug also realizes that is far more important than educating younger people on this board about who he is. Just like an earlier poster, I was not aware of who he is as well. I also am born just a few years prior to that poster born in '93, so I would say that there are not many millennials that are aware of who Doug is.

In regards to the $1 million comment, that is not something to brag about considering that Doug must be in his early 50's by now. Maybe I am biased because my dad got his MBA from Wharton, and was making that in his annual salary in his early 40's, which excludes dividends from his equity in various private companies. Of course, maybe my view is skewed because I was given a "college fund" that exceeded that when I graduated from undergrad.

If this were a few decades ago then having $1 million would mean more, but in 2018 you better have more than that if your kids are going to attend Ivy League schools. All in all, Doug has accomplished a lot more than most Americans if he is in a healthy, happy marriage with wonderful children.

So, congrats to Doug on having achieved what most people do not have, which is true happiness in his marriage and life outside of athletics.
