David Mowery. I was a close friend to your father and we shared many great moments of friendship and a love for running that I will treasure forever. He was truly a gifted runner. I was there that day. I had a T-shirt printed reading something like 800 Yard State Champion. It was a risk, as By qualified for the mile as well and my recollection was he scratched that event that is run earlier to focus on the 800. What a great decision. It was the greatest effort I have ever witnessed at a track event. It took the lead at 400M mark and never looked back. Amazingly his time was a few seconds below his PR going into the event. But personally, I think if he would have been pushed he could have run 1:52". I love Track and Field. Still do. Please send your best to your Dad. I have lost touch with him over the years. I have lived in Florida for many years now.
My sister won the women's 880 that year. AA division? We were a smaller school, but not the smallest school division. I believe she broke the record as well. It has since been broken again. Love the 8mm film!
Hi, this is Tim C. I heard this got posted to youtube and wanted to stop by to say hello. I'm sure your dad told you alot about this day, but I want to know if he told you about the cutie that appears at 3:34 and trots off at 4:20. I admired your dad for many reasons, and having her on his arm ranked right up there with his athletic ability. LOL. Please pass on my howdy to him. I'm still here in Houston.
