Director of Fun Still Bringing It

As we last brought you stuff from NYC's very own Teddy Quinn, he alerted us to some great photos of Bill Cox, a PSU runner in the 20's.  Bill was an Olympian even before traveling to the "middle of nowhere" in Central PA.  He was a member of the XC team in the 1924 Paris Games.

He also seems to have had a Sophomore Slump* (like me! Except mine lasted far, far longer...)

Bill Cox's Sophomore Slump

Teddy also has some great stuff from the "recent" 70's!

The 1973 Dream Mile was supposed to bring the first ever sub-4 mile to Rochester NY.  It pitted the follicle-challenged Dick Buerkle and the Olympic Gold Medalist Dave Wottle.  It also included Allegheny Community College star and future Nittany Lion, Paul Stemmer.

The result was a 4:00.6 mile with Buerkle edging out Wottle and a bicep-enhanced future Nittany Lion in 4th.

* I am betting that Bill met the future Mrs. Bill Cox just prior to this "slump".
