Patti Sue Plummer

[PLJ]

What ever happened to her? Remember her making the Olympic team. I think she made the finals in either 1500 or 3000. Had some fierce races against Suzy Favor. Did injuries cause end of her competitive career?

Re: Patti Sue Plummer

After an international career of 10 years she got on with her life, working as a lawyer and becoming a mother.

No, I think it was just age. She's 42 years old, you know.

>I still like her sister Polly!
Wasn't Polly homecoming queen or somesuch in high school, all the while running sensational times (close to 4:30)?

Patti Sue was one tough cookie, though. I was thinking that she suffered some kind of back injury from a fall late in her career, possibly during one of those homestretch battles with Favor Hamilton.

Polly was pretty. And she ran 4:35.24 for a mile. Still listed by T&FN as the national high school record.
