Kevin Byrne suffered a bad foot injury while warming up outside Franklin Field before the Penn Relays his freshman year at Georgetown and was never the same after that, although he did have a nice college career and finally earned a gold watch at Penn as part of the Hoyas' 4-by-8 team his senior year. He never ran post-collegiately. I actually raced against Kevin in the spring of 1975 when we were both HS sophomores in Bergen County (N.J.), he at Bergen Catholic in Oradell and me at Teaneck. I lost. Kevin now lives in Yardley, Pa., about five minutes from me, has two young kids, and is a very successful insurance executive outside Princeton. He never misses a Millrose HS Mile. Last time I saw Kevin he gave me a copy of an old Sports Illustrated from 1977 - there was a two-page story with lots of pictures about Kevin. And in the Faces in the Crowd section there was a blip about some hot-shot high school basketball player in Michigan named Earvin Johnson.
