1974 State Track Meet

Back in 1974 I ran in the Utah High School 4A State champioship 2 mile race.  It was held at night at the University of Utah stadium.  Back then the track was in the football stadium  We took off and I ran with the pack as long as I could it was fun running with these runners I looked up too.  The top runners broke away with Mark Despain winning and setting a state record.  I finished in 6th place the top sophmore in the race.
After the race a coach from Utah State University came up to me and asked where I was planning to go to school the following year.  I told him Hillcrest High.  He was surprised when I told him I was a Sophmore.
This finished my year with best times of 4:36 for the mile and 9:59 for the 2 mile.
