Back in '71-75 my husband ran Cross Country and Track for Stanford. He was the Captain of the Cross Country team, as well. No, he wasn’t Olympic caliber, nor was running his “ticket” to Stanford. It’s a competitive world out there. But, he ran well all four years. It was such a long time ago and I don’t have all the details. I do believe his h.s. coach knew the Stanford coach, so that probably helped. Also, back then I’m sure things weren’t quite as competitive as they are now. I doubt his grades, alone, would get him into Stanford nowadays.
