I wonder what Phil's order was? :shock:

There were some fine distance times/races in that San Diego meet...I attended in 1976 and 77. The track with it's unique bank design was fast for the longer races.

Most amazing to me was the 2-mile in 1977 when marathoner Frank Shorter blazed the final 880 in 1:57.2 to outkick Rod Dixon! Winning time: 8:27.2 as I recall.

BTW has any other world class marathoner had more speed than Frank.

[no one]

depends on where the line is for 'world class' - Paul Cummings @ 2:11.xx and 48.x - 1:49 - 3:56 might fit

Rod Dixon would be one!

Gebrselassie - 3:33 etc

3:31.76i for Geb. And Dixon, himself a NYCM winner, had better speed than Shorter (1972 Bronze over 1500m, 3:33.89 best).

I agree, but not that night in San Diego!

I ran at that meet in 1980 in the Co-ed relay. We placed 2nd by a whisker.

Hopefully one of the guys was anchoring.
