Any NWAACC Historians out there?

[Guest]

Has any athlete that went to an NWAACC school ever run sub 1:47, sub 4:00, or sub 13:30?? Thanks

Paul Kezes is close. I believe hes run like a 3:43 1500. Hes also run in the 13:40s. Went to Clackamas for a year then Western State then Western Washington for XC last year before dropping out.

Well, possibly this comes with an asterisk, but Jose Luis Barbosa ran for Lane in 1986 while he lived in Eugene and he got under 1:47 a few times. Also, Chris Katon ran for CC Spokane in 1992 and a couple years later ran 3:59.19 competing unattached in Eugene.

Jose Luis Barbosa holds the 800m and 1500m records at Lane CC at 1:44.10 and 3:45.14 from 1986.

Jim Howarth went to Lane CC before his time as an Oregon Duck. Known to Coach Bill Dellinger as "the Grants Pass Flash" and "our 700-meter runner," Ho as a post-collegian ran 3:59.75 to become U.S. sub-4:00 miler No. 202... er... 201... no, 203... 202!

He was coached by Alberto Salazar... and may have worn corked spikes that day. (kidding)
