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.
