Confident Ngeno Dominated Distances ::: USTFCCCA

Confident Ngeno Dominated Distances John Ngeno of Washington State was looking to make a statement in the 3-mile at the 1975 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. With a victory by 14.03 seconds over defending champ Paul Geis of Oregon, Ngeno made his point: Ngeno crossed the finish line in 13:22.73; Geis finished in 13:36.76. That winning margin was – and remains – the largest by a man in meet history, even combining 5000-meter races. And it came a day after winning the 6-mile, making Ngeno the first such distance doubler since another WSU Cougar, Gerry Lindgren, won three from 1966-68. Asked if the altitude at Provo, Utah, made it hard, Ngeno responded, “Hard? Why should it be hard? It is no different up here than down below.”
