Sub-4 Memories!

Only 30 years have passed since Larry Mangan's first (of several!) sub-4 mile efforts.  Enough time for two of his children to be participating in the District 1 Track Championships this weekend, thus eliminating Larry from competition in the Golf Tourney.  We understand, Larry.  His daughter Liv will be a Nittany Lion next year in a Field Event, can you believe it?  Congrats, Larry on another fine anniversary.  Good luck, both of you this weekend.

The 30 years ago memory of Larry also heralds the first sub-4 efforts for two other Nittany Lions, Mike Wyatt and Greg Fredericks!  Mike even gave me a pair of his spikes after this.  I wonder if they were the ones that dipped under 4:00?  All three of them broke the magic barrier at around the same time, and I think I saw all three of the efforts, (Larry and Greg at PSU and Mike at Penn Relays?)
