Tracksters and Fieldsters:
U.S. radio personality Don Imus frequently mentions that his wife had a
track scholarship at Villanova. I figured I'd look her up, but I've never
been able to find any notice of her career.
Her name is Deirdre Coleman (although you'll sometimes see it spelled
Deidre). I believe that she is now about 35 or 36 years old. According to
Don, she was a middle distance runner.
A March 4, 1999 Web posting on "DeLorenzo's Dugout" by James DeLorenzo
states that she never ran for Villanova. He bases this upon a search of
old Villanova media guides and an inquiry to Marty Stern. See:

Can anyone on the list find any marks by a Deirdre Coleman, probably in the
800 or 1500, probably in the early 1980's?
