Well, almost anyway! 1979 Penn Relays Marathon champion Tim Backenstose will be starring in Calvary Fellowship Church's Christmas Extravaganza in Downingtown PA. Who knew what talents were hidden from the rest of us while at PSU? I dug up the photo of the finish of the race previously discussed on this blog, and also the order of finish, which is quite favorable to "good ole State".

Cop on. Take back that silliness about Athurs, or I'll not be golfing with you next year!
ReplyDeleteI met Arthur twice. Once in 1977 and again in 1979 or 1980 at PSU. Coach wasn't very impressed as I remember. He originally came in 1977 to find colleges for "his girls". And why would anyone not want to golf with me?
