Although I wasn't there (
and I"m not sure why????), a bunch of Sophomores were joined by Junior
Tim Backenstose to win the overall race on the hills and dales of the Belmont Plateau course.
I'm wondering if they blew me off, or if I blew them off, as I was in very good shape at that time and even ran a
51:11 10-Miler in Millersville then.
But needless to say, they didn't need me!

And I am in debt to
Tim Backenstose for these vintage photos,
AND the only picture (that I know of) of me running in a Penn State uniform!!!! This is from the
1979 Penn Relays Marathon won by Tim. That's me leading the other PSU runners.
They all ended up beating me!
If anyone knows who the guy is on the right of the AAU XC team photo (Now identified as Syd White by Brian Boyer himself!) AND how to improve on this photo, let me know!

This was the only race I ever ran in these shoes! Took half of my right foot off.
