Duane Gaston just passed on this info via facebook. Larry Cuzzort, age 62 passed recently from Covid. Larry was a member of that incredible bunch of runners at Western Kentucky in the mid to late 1970's that included Nick Rose, Tony Staynings, and Swag Hartel, and Chris Ridler. Larry had some great performances including at 13:39 5000 and a 1 hr. 3 min. half marathon. Although many of those guys were part of the British invasion, Larry was a local boy from across the river in Evansville, IN. We remember those guys as running hard and partying hard.
Western Kentucky Hilltopper Memories
Here is a link to those former times. The video is a lot of stills of those guys in action. None are identified, but the montage is full of nostalgia for anyone involved in those days.
Here is a list of some of Larry's running accomplishments from the Association of Road Racing Statisticians (AARS).
