If Kip Keino is an example of a 1500m runner moving up to the steeple, it
doesn't do much to advance the argument for 3:38 types having any more
success in the steeple than they would in the 1500. A 3:38 1500 is
equivalent to about 8:13-8:16 in the steeple. Any steepler who can run in
the 8:05

More to the point, there is an effect on distance races at 2100' altitude

I don't know that much about Mathias. I know he was very young but probably
out of Jr. Hi. Anyway, not correct. Hint - This was back in the time when
it was not that unusual for high school age athletes to qualify for Olympic
and US International teams. It was still very unusual for a Jr. Hi.
I don't know the name (Larney) and she may have been in Jr. Hi., but again,
not correct. You are moving closer to the right date however.

Applying altitude adjustments to the winners in the Mountain Regional (and
considering ONLY altitude):
Torres: 29:53 (about 46 sec)
Beryhill: 30:05
Grgas-Wheeler: 20:20 (about 26 sec)
Monro: 20:28
This makes Torres considerably faster than any other region and G-W 2nd.
We'll see in a

Listers - A barometric pressure change large enough to produce an apparent
