Fulton did one of the most amazing things I ever saw at NAIA nationals
(Henderson University, Arkadelphia, Ark) in I think it was 1973.  He ran the
3 mile, 6 mile and mile (3:58.?) and scored in all three.  I also think he
ran a leg of the 4 x 8 or DMR.  He was a one man track team.

McAfee was first (5-12-73), Tommy Fulton was the second (5-25-73) and
Fikes was the third.

Yes. I'll stand by my story. And Denis Fikes (3:55 at Penn behind
Waldrop's 3:53) was the second. Anyone remember Tommy Fulton? Did he
ever break 4:00?

Malmo:
Is that accurate about Reggie McAfee? Harry McCalla of Stanford was
pretty close in the late 60's, and there was a runner at San Jose State
at that time who might have done it. The name escapes me. David Lesley
