35 Years ago – March 1985: Just one race during this month but it was a big one. This
was my junior year at U-Lowell and I flew to beautiful Fargo ND for the NCAA
indoor track National championships. I didn’t have a particularly good day
running a lackluster 14:27.8 for 5,000 meters. It was however good
enough for 5th place which got me “All-America” status (top 6 were
so designated). We flew directly from Fargo to Florida for Spring break!
30 Years ago – March 1990: Not much in this month but again I made it worthwhile. I
set a personal best for ½ marathon at New Bedford in the New England (NEAC)
championships. I ended up in 18th place in a field of 1798 but was
pleased with both my 10 mile split (49:35) and finishing time 65:27. The
winner of the race (Brian Sherriff 1:02) took home $5000 or nearly $10,200 in 2020 dolla
