It's Penn Relays Week! Coach Groves' Birthday Too!

Chris Mills to Randy Moore, 1985.

Funny how a 1:45.5 leg reduced Miles Irish to a distant shadow!

  2. Waaaaay better than a blank disk. I have to get Greg to tell me who everyone is though. Charlie Maguire not withstanding.

  3. The runner from Duke is the late Bob Wheeler (I think).

  4. Ok, I looked really closely. Is the Fu Manchued fellow with the wide lapel jacket Marty Liquori???????

  5. I don't think so. I think it's either Geraldo Rivera (Jerry Rivers) or Tom Selleck.

  6. It is Liquori and he's wearing a Penn Relays watch.

  8. Hard to believe that after seeing Marty in that costume Greg still bought into the Athletic Attic franchise.
    Everyone have a safe, happy and holy Penn Relays Weekend.

  9. The Athletic Attic is where I bought my first pair of Nike Waffles from Greg in 1976, along with getting his autograph in my running log. For the younger crowd, it lives on through several incantations as the Rapid Transit Sportswear on Allen Street.
