Driss El Himer's marathon debut was a 2:27:08 at New York City in 1997. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 10:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: t-and-f: dude with range
from time to time we've raised the names of guys with super range (like sub-4:00/sub-2:10 people). Here's a new one I don't recall anyone mentioning. Driss Al Himer of France (né Morocco) won the Amsterdam Marathon in October in 2:07:02. That was his debut, mind you. Note that he's also a 13:10 guy and was in the Edmonton 5K final and has a 1500 best in the 3:37s (so he's in essence a 3:54 miler). I'd say that puts him way up high on the old great-range list. gh
