Mike Solomon and Mickey Mathews of the Kansas Jayhawk track and field and cross country alums asked us to post this announcement.
Hello Former KU Track Jayhawkers,
We are planning a reunion for the
2016 KU Relays April 20-23. We are
working with the Track Office, K
Club, and the Alumni Society to host a
reunion for former Track and Cross
Country runners and to honor two of
KU’s most outstanding Cross Country
and Track Coaches. Combined, Coach
Easton and Coach Timmons produced
these impressive numbers for the
University of Kansas: 7 NCAA
Championships, 70 Big Eight
Conference Championships, 20
Olympians, 109 All-Americans, and
their athletes set 20 World records
and 14 American records.
We are also planning to have a meet
and greet gathering at Tom Rupp old
school house on North side of
Lawrence on Friday April 22, after
the Relays.
We would like to get a tentative count
of how many are interested in
attending the Relays, and how many
would be interested in us trying to
block a group of rooms at one of the
hotels.
If you are interested, please respond
with an email address to
Mike
Solomon, msolomon235@gmail.com,
or
Mickey Mathews,
mmathews1@juno.com
If you know of any other former KU
athletics whose email address does
not appear below, please forward this
email to them so they may also
respond. We are making this an email
tree.
Hope to see you there!
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
