FIVE WHO RAN THE VA TEN MILER

DAVID HORTON

LU's Doctor David Horton
Ran the race just to be sportin'.
Seventeen trail miles on feet right sore
He and buddies ran the night before!
Or were they moonshine snortin?


DAVID CHEEROMEI

Coach David Cheeromei
Is a Kenyan who can really fly.
Over the course he sped,
Seven minutes of second ahead!
He's another LU guy.


BILL DRAPER

If you know old Bill Draper,
Then you know he'll never taper.
Bill is now eighty-one,
And all thirty-five he's run
According to the paper.


JIM MONTGOMERY

From Florida it's a long drive
For a man almost seventy-five.
In his car this man I admire a lot
Slept in the parking lot!
For him it was number thirty-five.


BILL FASTABEND

We knew we could depend
On our own Bill Fastabend.
Running with an injured calf,
Cheered on by his better half,
He brought his 35th to its end.
