I came across a nice pic on the inter-tubes yesterday from fellow teammate
Ricky Garcia. His TC Williams (of
Remember the Titans fame!) distance medley relay team was the holder of the national record for more than 25 years. On that team was fellow Nittany Lion
Dwight Stephens.
Ted Lyon was also from that powerhouse program. That's three teammates of mine from just one high school.

There are other schools with similar Penn State credentials.
- Lancaster, Ohio's Brannon Kidder, John Zishka and Keeper of the Beer Clark Haley.
- Council Rock's Bob Hamer, among others... coached by my daughter's future coach at PSU Mont Alto Bill Preston.
- And last but certainly not least, State College High with literally dozens of Nittany Lions springing from its halls.
Are there any other High Schools with similar PSU credentials? (I know there are.)
Recently Coatesville has produced the Dawson twins and Clarence Smith. Cumberland Valley with Jaret Campisi, Alex Langan, Adam Theilman, and the Fuller boys.
ReplyDeleteCoatesville, at the time a sprinting powerhouse, ironically also produced yours truly (marathon man Tim Backenstose) back in the day...when full 'fros and platform shoes were the norm.

Dover High produced me and 2,500 rabid anti-Darwinists. So they have that.
