Remember when Chicago Public League sprinters, middle-distance
runners, jumpers and relay teams used to be dominant factors in the
state track and field meet?
Remember when Illinois competitors frequently recorded some of the
fastest times in the nation?
Remember Craig Virgin, Dave Ayoub, Bill Bahnfleth, Larry Kelley,
Gail Olson, Leroy Jackson, Dave Butz, Howard Jones, Willie Thomas,
Bob McGee, Tom Graves, Adam Harris and Reggie Torian?
Remember when Illinois products made the U.S. Olympic team?
Remember Ralph Metcalfe, Jim Golliday, Ira Murchison, Don Laz, Bob
Richards, Willie May, Mike Conley, Greg Foster, Rick Wohlhuter, Jim
Spivey, Jan Johnson and Sunder Nix?
