If you check out the all-time lists for the Crystal Springs course, several names appear toward the top end from the 1979 Kinney West Region races including the girls' course record holder, Ellen Lyons. Below is some footage from both race although it's mostly from the boys' race.

Mitch Kingery was a beast! Does he still hold the high school record in the marathon?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good question. I don't think he still holds the marathon record but may still hold the sophomore marathon record. I will have to do some research.
ReplyDeleteThe high school record for marathon was set in 1977 by Clancy Devery and that was 2:23:05. Mitch KIngery ran 2:23:47 in 1973 and I believe that is the 2nd fastest all-time hs mark.
ReplyDeleteThat record may NEVER be broken.
