t-and-f: Alice Cooper--4:30 miler
In the October 14 Sports Ilustrated, rock n roll legend Alice Cooper is identified in a Q + A as having been a 4:32 miler in high school. Boy, Frank Shorter was right when he said EVERYONE back in the day was a 4:30 miler! Cooper also sez he can still go 6:10 for a mile, which puts him just about in the company of President Bush. Is that how it is now--everyone over 50 (who used to go 4:30) is now a 6:00 miler? I'd love to see a celebrity mile between Cooper and Bush, maybe at this year's Penn Relays? Shades of Keino vs. Liquori? Brian McGuire

Yeah, you must mean Vinnie from Detroit? 4:32. Oh, he must be 54 now. Changed his name. Alice Cooper never ran 4:32.

Very funny piece. He obviously took care of himself a little better than the Hoons, Staleys and Cobains of the world. Regards, Martin Cooper: When Wayne's World came out [in 1992], I was coaching 11- and 12-year-old kids, and we had a practice the Monday after the movie opened. The kids were just standing there stunned. Finally one little kid comes up to me and says, Coach Cooper, how did you get in Wayne's World? I said, Well, I got this little band. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_online/QandA/2002/1014/index.html Brian McGuire wrote: In the October 14 Sports Ilustrated, rock n roll legend Alice Cooper is identified in a Q + A as having been a 4:32 miler in high school.
