Mead Mania: The Golden Era of Prep Distance Running in Washington

Here is another web find from http://www.edbagleyblog.com

It's a four part series about Mead High School and their legendary coach, Pat Tyson. For those of you that don't know, Mead High School (in the state of Washington) has been ranked nationally in the Harrier many times (14 to be exact including 2 #1 rankings). Their 1993 team rates as one of the best high school teams ever with many listing them as the very best. Tyson has since left the school to coach collegiately in Oregon and Kentucky but Mead still remains one of the best teams nationally ranking in the top 6 in each of the last three seasons.

Don't forget to vote in the poll to the right. So far Webb is the runaway voter with Lagat in 2nd. Could that be the order of the 1500m. final in Osaka? Can Kastor pull off another medal?
