Greetings Adams State Cross Country/Track & Field Family! Well, it’s time for the family to get back together again, this time we are making it bigger and better than ever before! With 50+ years under our belts and more new alumni joining the family every year, our tree just keeps on growing! What a year it has been here as I’m sure you can all can say the same. I really hope to see all of your smiling faces together here this summer! As you’re aware, this reunion will be a special one as we have several events going on that will be once in a lifetime events. We have also planned a 50th anniversary celebration run and banquet commemorating the first ever Olympic marathon trials hosted by Adams State College and the city of Alamosa. We have received commitments from many of the ’68 marathon participants to attend this event as well, including George Young, Kenny Moore, Billy Mills, Frank Shorter, Steve Gachupin, Amby Burfoot, along with many others. Just like any family reunion, it takes a commitment from each of you to attend and participate to ensure it’s a success! As we have had these reunions every few years, they have grown larger and larger. At our last reunion we had nearly 200 alumni and family members return. I expect this one to be our biggest and best reunion to date. So I hope this invitation is giving you enough notice for you all to plan accordingly to attend. Each and every time we have these reunions I know that this could be the last time some of us will have to all get back together. I hope you will take this opportunity to reunite with your Adams State XC/Track & Field brothers and sisters. This year’s reunion will be held July 27-29, 2018.

    Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to the Massachusetts State Track Coaches

    Good morning everyone and welcome to the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association’s induction ceremony of former cross country and track and field greats from Massachusetts. These athletes, when competing in high school, in college or beyond, established themselves amongst the best that this state, this country and even this world has ever seen. My name is Bob L’Homme and I coach both the Cross Country and Track and Field teams at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Ma. And on behalf of the Hall of Fame Committee, Chuck Martin, Jayson Sylvain, Tim Cimeno and Mike Glennon I’d like to thank you all for attending. I am the chairman of the Hall of Fame Committee and I will be your MC for this morning’s induction ceremony. The state of Massachusetts currently has approximately 100 athletes that have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Names like Johnny Kelley, Billy Squires, John Thomas, Alberto Salazar, Lynn Jennings, Mark Coogan, Calvin Davis, and Shalane Flanagan to name a few are sprinkled within those 100 athletes. Last year we inducted Abby D’Agostino from Masconomet High School, Fred Lewis from Springfield Tech, Karim Ben Saunders from Cambridge R&L, Anne Jennings of Falmouth, Arantxa King of Medford, Ron Wayne of Brockton and Heather Oldham of Woburn H.S. All of these past inductees were your high school league champions, divisional champions, state champions, New England champions, Division 1, 2 and 3 collegiate champions and High School and collegiate All Americans. There are United States Champions, Pan Am Champions, World Champions and Olympic Champions.

    SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13

    1964 MEN Trials were held in Los Angeles on September 12/13, some 5 weeks before the Games, after semi-final Trials were held at Travers Island in early July with attendances of 14,000 and 17,000 on the two days. To give the full picture, both competitions are analyzed here. SOT - Randalls Island - July 3-4/ OT Los Angeles - September 12-13 OT - 100 Meters - September 12, 16.15 Hr 1. 5.

Bernie Rivers (New Mexico) 10.4e Bob Hayes had emerged in 1962, after a 9.3y/20.1y double at the '61 NAIA, and inside 3 seasons had stamped himself as the best 100 man of all-time. However, in the AAU he injured himself as he crossed the line, and he was in the OT only because of a special dispensation. In the OT race Newman started well but soon faded and Hayes, Jackson and Pender edged away from the field at 30m, with Hayes' power soon drawing clear of the others. He crossed the line 5ft ahead, still going away, and the margin of 0.1 clearly flattered Jackson. A time of 10.3 would have been a fairer indication for both Jackson and Ashworth rather than the official version of 10.4, while Stebbins and Rivers (neither officially timed) are listed at 10.4e from videotape.
