I've seen articles and here and there that talk about a runner breaking the school record or running some great and becoming the fastest native born runner from their particular state.
Is there a way to look this up or is it a matter of doing a ton of research to figure it out? For example, if I am from North Dakota and run a decent 1500 time, how can I figure out if my time makes me the fastest native born N Dakotan for 1500m?
I'm from illinois.... I think Craig Virgin takes the title of fastest Illinoisian. Maybe Jim Spivey?
I don't have to worry, I'm from Ohio and I know I'm slow.
Croghan
Kennedy
that would be Mr. Webb
unless my diminutive knowledge of professional running serves me wrong
Mississippi: probably George Kersh (1:44.0 for 800m)
If you are from North Dakota, and a 1500 runner, it's not you. Unless you are Corey Ihmels.
I think Runners World has a fastest-milers-by-state list. Should be out there somewhere.

Falcon (3:49.xx)
Pyrah (3:5x-low)
Tegenkamp (13:20s)

Actually, Kennedy was born in Indiana (though he spent his childhood in Ohio). Specifically, he was born in Bloomington where he ended up at college.

This is the article I was referring to:
"I never imagined my name would be on top," says Lindsay, whose name now tops a 1500-meter list that includes Olympians Paul Cummings, Jason Pyrah, Agberto Guimaraes, Henry Marsh and Padilla. Lindsay's NCAA performance is the equivalent of a 3:55 mile, which would also make him the fastest in school history and the fastest native-born Utahn ever.
By the way, I'm from Idaho, not ND. I was just throwing that out as an example. I'd like to see a top 10 or top 5 list of the fastest native born Idahoans in the mile/1500. Maybe I should check the all time lists at Boise State/Idaho State/U of Idaho/Utah State/BYU, etc. and see where those folks are from.
my state's got times like Craig Virgin not even being the fastest...
guys like Jim Spivey, and recently Tim Broe have run faster...
Virgin might be Illinois fastest 10k guy still though...maybe Torres'll claim that one
