Since the last Springbank lnternational was held. approximately half a mile of road opposite the start,finish line in Springbank Park has been re-routed to the bank of the Thames River (see map below). This alteration has cut 4'1 yards off the one-lap distance, meaning that the High School Boys'3lvlile is now 41 yards shorter than in the past, the Seniors'6 Mile 82 yards shorter, the Open Men's 4% lMile 68 yards shorter and the Open Men's 12 Mile 164 yards shorter (the Ladies 4% is not effected since this is the first year it's being run at Springbank).

Obviously, the shortened distances should produce faster times. But how much fasterz Not as much as the linear yardage difference might indicate. The reason is that although the altered course is 41 yards shorter, the alteration has introduced a tough additional hill, tougher, some runners feel. than Animal Hill, which previously had been ihe biggest climb on the course-

lnvolved calculations have shown that this new hill, which is situated just to tne west of the dam on the Thames, costs a runner as much extra energy to climb as running 1g yards ,old, on the flat. Clearly then. for the purposes of converting times from the course to the 'new'course, one makes the calculation as if the altered course was 23 yards rather than 4.1 yards shorter (since the hill has the same effect as adding l8 yards to the length of the new cou rse).

Using this conversion factor, the present Springbank lnternational records convert as follows:

Ken N4oore's 55:33.8 (Open Men's 12) would be SS:18.9 on the new course; Frank Shorter's 19:52.8 (Open l!4en's 4),.) would be I g:47.7 August Jarvis'30:27.9 (Seniors'6) would be 30:19.9 Doug Mundell's 14:06.2 (High Schoot Boy's 3) woutd be 14:02.2

MAP OF THE ALTERED SPRINGBANK COURSE

One lap of the 'new'course is 41 yards shorter than the previous one-lap distance, Thuis, the actual distances of the three, six and I 2-mile races are now 218, 436 and g72 yards short respectively. The 47.-mile course, which consists of a {ull lap plus a half lap, is now 386 yards short. I.

{ =::r:st srngle lap ever run on the Springbank course ('old'course - 177 yards short of three - :s) was l3:20 by Frank Shorter enroute to his record run in the'4'A'in 1970.

)t --? last three Springbank'12's have been run at surprisingly similar speeds, so much so that :-e times at three-quarters in each of those three years have been almost identical: -:1:40 iHill ' Drayton in 19701, 41t41 (Moore - Freary in 1971 ) and 41:43 (Shorter in 1972). i! the end the times have been almost as similar: Hill was 55:34.6, lMoore was 55:33.8 8 seconds iaster) and Shorter 55:46.6.

* \1any people know that Olympic marathon champion Frank Shorter, of the United States, : competitor at Springbank the last three years, was born in l\4unich, Germany where his 'ither, then a U.S. army doctor, was stationed. Few people know that Shorter's mother was corn in St. l/larys, Ontario.

* University of Western Ontario graduate student Grant l\4cLaren, now widely regarded as cne oi North America's finest distance runners, has performed consistently well at Springbank but has yet to win. ln the last {our years he has been, in order, second, second, third and recond in the '4%'. His ranking on the all-time best performers list for the event?You guessed t -- second.

Cliff Bricker had a brilliant record in road races in the period 1924-'1932. His first ever race was over '10 miles in Hamilton in '24. He won it, beating runners who had been sec- ond and third in the Canadian Olympic trials. ln '1925 he won the Canadian 1o-mile champ' ionship. set records at the Guelph Road Races 15 mile(1: l8) andtheCanadian National Exhibition 12 mile on the track. He also set a Canadian record for 10 miles on the road, recording 49:20. He won all the races he ran that year except for a single setback to Johnny l\4iles in a 15-mile test at Toronto. And that's about the way the rest of Bricker's road racing career was to go, an almost end- less string of victories and only rarely, very rarely, a defeat.

ln 1927 he was fourth in the Boston Marathon behind winner Clarence DeMar, But he came back to beat Del\4ar in the Buffalo marathon later that year.

Bricker was a member of both the 1928 8nd the 1932 Olympic teams. ln each oJ those Games he was the first Canadian to finish in the marathon, ahead of such illustrious Canadian distance runners as Miles and Harold Webster.

The 1972 Springbank ''12' was not the lastest yet run, although not far from it, nor was it as competitively close as some others. But what it had was concentration of talent that stood out like a jewel. lMost prominent entrant. of course, was the Florida Track Club's Frank Shorter, who less than a month earlier had won the gold medal in the Olympic lvlarathon. lirst American since 1908 to do so. Also entered was Belgium's Karel Lismont. who had taken the marathon silver behind Shorter at Munich. And finally there was the great British runner Ron Hill, the pre-Munich favorite in the marathon who had suffered an off-day on the most important day ol his career and linished a disappointing, to him, sixth. Shorter, Lismont and Hill at the '72 Springbank '12' - il was almost like lvlunich all over again at iust half the distance.
