  • Never Quit the Following Story Is from the Book Never Quit by Glenn Cunningham
    YOUR KANSAS STORIES OUR HISTORICAL 1-12 HISTORY SOCIETY Read Kansas! By the Kansas State Historical Society Never Quit The following story is from the book Never Quit by Glenn Cunningham. This book is an autobiography. It was published in 1981 when Cunningham was 72 years old. The 1936 Berlin Olympics There was some confusion at the start as runners jostled one another for position. But I was used to this, and I lay back, moving to the outer edge of the pack, running easily and waiting for an opening. The crowd was noisy. I knew they wouldn’t be yelling like that for long. In less than four minutes they would be applauding the winners and forgetting the losers. But I was not going to lose. At 27, this could be my last chance to prove myself. The noise of the crowd throbbed in my ears, modulated by the pounding of my heart. I was pouring on the power when suddenly my legs began to hurt. Panic. Again the pain, the aching. Would it never go away?… At the halfway point in the race a swift Frenchman took the lead. I decided to overtake him. I was about to pass the man when my right leg suddenly buckled! I nearly fell. I recovered at once. But now new pains stabbed through my legs. Once more I started after the Frenchman. This time I passed him, and the crowd went wild. I had the lead!… We were in the stretch now. I lengthened my stride, fighting the pain. I pumped my arms harder.

  • 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.

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.

  • The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1,338 Athletes As at 27 April 2014)
    The Sub-4 Alphabetic Register (1,338 athletes as at 27 April 2014) No country has kept greater faith with the legend of the sub-four-minute mile than the USA. Duing the 2014 indoor season in that country 48 athletes broke four minutes and the US total of sub- four-minute milers is now approaching the 450 mark. Elsewhere, even the distant past eventually yields its secrets: a hitherto overlooked performance from as long ago as 1974 by a Bulgarian was not discovered until 36 years later ! There are now 17 sets of brothers, including five sets of twins, and five sets of fathers and sons who have broken four minutes. The most recent contributor to this family tradition is John Coghlan, son of Eamonn Coghlan. No grandfathers and grandsons as yet ! Performances listed in this Register represent the first occasion on which the athlete ran sub-four- minutes for the mile, followed by the all-time personal best if there was a subsequent improvement. Almost 60 per cent of the 1,338 athletes listed have not bettered their first Sub-4 performance, though some of those from the more recent years will obviously do so eventually. Performances listed in tenths-of-a-second were recorded manually; it may be that some of these were also automatically recorded and the figures not made public, but as they mostly date back 30 years or more it is very unlikely that such data will ever come to light. The standard middle- distance event in international competition has for more than a century been the 1500 metres, and but for this there would certainly be twice as many sub-four-minute milers as there actually are.
