Through the late 1960s and early 70s the only team winning Met titles was Millrose, except in cross-country where the NYAC was dominant, fielding national-class runners. I thought it would be fun to organize these regulars into a team, so in September 1972, my wife, Lynn and I called a founding meeting in our apartment and Central Park Track Club was born.” — Dave Blackstone, founder and first president of CPTC That was the genesis of our club. During the The history of CPTC might be divided into two ensuing 30 years, that little band consisting of parts — BG and AG. Long before George Dave and Lynn, Ben Gershmann, Larry Wisniewski came on the scene, CPTC had a Langer, Judge Arnold Fraiman, Walter Nathan, definite presence in local competition. Shelly Bob Urie, Fred Lebow, Frank Handelman, Jack Karlin, Handelman, Brennan, and Blackstone Brennan and a few others, has grown into a were names that frequently showed up as top real presence in New York, with close to four finishers in races.

  • Moving Past Foot Woes, Clearing Path to Games
    Moving Past Foot Woes, Clearing Path to Games By FRANK LITSKY Published: March 13, 2008 Shalane Flanagan ran the 5,000 meters in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the 2005 world championships in Helsinki. But her left foot hurt so badly in 2005 she could hardly train, and after Helsinki she decided not to run again until she found what was wrong. She went from doctor to doctor, looking for an answer. Itsuo Inouye/Associated Press Shalane Flanagan set a U.S. indoor record for 3,000 meters after a foot operation. Doctor No. 1 said the foot was fractured and there was no quick cure. Doctor No. 2 said there was an avulsion fracture, in which a bone fragment tears away. No immediate solution. Doctor No. 3 said there was a calcium deposit. No quick panacea. There were Doctors 4, 5 and 6 — maybe more, she said — but no relief. Finally, in April 2006, a breakthrough occurred. Dr. Amol Saxena, a podiatric surgeon in Palo Alto, Calif., said that Flanagan’s tendon appeared to be tearing, and he was about to operate. Minutes before, he took a standing X-ray and found the answer. She had an extra bone in the foot. He operated, removed the bone, repaired a torn tendon under the big toe and implanted a screw to hold everything together. After three months of rehabilitation, including hours in the swimming pool, Flanagan was running again on the roads. In February 2007, in her first race in 17 months, she set an American record of 8 minutes 33.25 seconds for 3,000 meters indoors.
