Thanks, Bobk
Looking at the record book, our focus on the distance races stands out when looking at the top 10 all time. In the shorter distances a lot more of the top 10 times include guys who ran them 40 or more years ago. I remember sitting in the stands watching Ernie Cunliff try and break the 4.00 barrier on the old stadium track. You have to wonder what guys like he, Lofton, and Questadt would have run on modern surfaces. Lofton's 200 meter record is now over 40 years old. Lofton was not only a gifted receiver he was one of the best long jumpers and sprinters Stanford has ever had. The length of time since he raced is testimony to his ability to run very fast on what would be considered very poor surfaces today.
RE: T&F Preview: Men's Distance - BobK - 01-16-2019
So agree GK 3.
Would be fun to see many running today on the great tracks.
Loved watching Cunliffe lead by 30 yards after 440 while running an 880 then hang on for 1:46-1:48

Wow! brobdingnagian news!
And this seems like as good a place as any to thank you for all your hard work on the T&F front, Bob. I really appreciate these previews -- and all you do throughout the season.
RE: T&F Preview: Men's Distance - BobK - 01-17-2019

Sounds like we must have sat in the old stadium during the same sound period. I will never forget Cunliffe effort to run a sub 4 min mile. Who would you say is the best Track and Field athlete Stanford has ever had? My vote might well go to Lofton.
RE: T&F Preview: Men's Distance - BobK - 01-17-2019
Pass in the night as they say GK.
Best since 1959 for me
Cunliffe
Lofton
Questad
Morton
Jennings and Stember
