Where did McChesney run the 29:06.8? Junior Nats? Senior Nats?
I think it was in an open meet in Eugene.
Where was Hulst's 28:55.0 run? I heard it was run on a sub-standard track.
Anyone?

For those of you who believe in "Purdy-style" equivalent charts, a 28:32 is
far superior to the 8:36 2-mile record and the 13:44 HS record ...
according to those charts.
A 28:32 = 8:29y.
I guess, without charts, a 28:30-29:00 10k runner would have the opportunity
(back in the day at least) to have run an indoor 2-mile, or an outdoor
3-Mile or 5k ... and they could comment on which marks are truly "unreal" as
the subject line says ...
