Whatever happened to Eric Henry (Univeristy of Arkansas) in late 80's, early 90's. I know his high school teammate from Texas (Danny Green) is assistant coach at Arkansas now. Eric is still the 3200m record holder for Texas with a 8:52.2

He joined the Marines after his eligibility was up and is now out. He has to be one of the biggest guys(6'4"-190) to break 4:00 indoors-3:58 on a 160m track. The fittest I ever saw him was at 185lb. He is just a big guy.
Where is he now and does he still run? Not just his times were impressive, but his size. I ran against him in high school and college (or should I say ran "behind" him") and he just did not look like a fast runner, but oh so powerful!
Running just for fun now I think, he's gotta be 33yrs old now(someone said he ran a 19:00 5k a while back). Yes, he was a very strong runner. I took an accidental elbow in the shoulder from him in a cross race(he apologized profusely during the race), and I had a huge bruise for a week and a half, and I don't bruise easily.
He is living in norther virginia. He was coaching for a while with the DC Road Runners Club, but I'm not sure if he still is... He has talked of trying to get back in real shape for 2004 but that seems unlikely for his fitness level.
