1973–When followers discuss concerning the biggest prep runners, the names Jim Ryun and Gerry Lindgren instantly come to thoughts.
Truthful sufficient, however perhaps Craig Virgin’s title needs to be added to the combo. Virgin put collectively a collection of marks throughout his senior 12 months at Lebanon(IL) H.S. that was nothing wanting wonderful, topped by the 8:40.9 two-mile that he ran on this date in 1973 to interrupt Steve Prefontaine’s Nationwide H.S. File(8:41.5). That was his ninth(!) sub-9 minute race (and 4th below 8:50) inside the span of two months. As well as, he additionally recorded all-time top-3 marks within the 3000 (8:10.2), 3-Miles (13:36.8) and 5000-Meters (13:58.2). Oh, and he additionally ran a 4:05.5 Mile (See season recap under). Ending a distant 2nd in his file race on the Worldwide Prep Invitation (IPI), with a formidable time of 8:56.8, was Matt Centrowitz (Energy Memorial,NY).
Virgin’s record-setting race acquired some consideration within the Chicago papers the subsequent day, however he in all probability would have acquired extra in depth protection if Secretariat hadn’t received the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths in NY on the identical day to finish horse racing’s Triple Crown!
Virgin took outing just lately to reminisce about his record-setting efficiency.
“I used to be working out of time… I had run 8:45.6/4:08 indoors at Champaign in early March… after which 8:46.6 outside at an Invite at Centralia H.S. in early Could… then simply missed the file by one second (8:42.6) at our state meet… in scorching/humid situations at 1 PM!!! I did run a 4:05.5 recent (not coming again off a 2-mile) the subsequent weekend… so I knew that I used to be prepared.. and hoped to interrupt 8:40…. however knew that I needed to be below 4:20 for the mile mark to have an opportunity…. or to construct a bit buffer in there… in case I couldn’t rally for a quick final 440 (sure, Martha, we did run yards again then).
“I knew that the chase for the file might come all the way down to a second or two… and that’s why I had my coach Hank Feldt over close to the 220 mark… giving me splits…. so I might maintain purpose tempo… which was 64-66 per lap… and I (can) keep in mind his splits and feedback to me even at the moment. He simply retired from teaching (in 2013) after 54 years!
“I agree with Centrowitz (see under)… that had we been below the lights and later at night time… cooler and drier…. w/ no wind…. and on a urethane monitor…. that I might in all probability have run 2 seconds a mile sooner….and definitely not suffered the bodily injury to my toes that I did on the black asphalt monitor… that was so scorching… that you could possibly have actually fried eggs on it! I did miss Golden West the subsequent weekend… as a result of my toes have been hamburger nonetheless….and tried to get well for the 2nd AAU Jr. Nationals… to be held down at Gainesville, FL later that month…. to make the US Jr. crew once more… that was slated to go abroad. (Virgin received the Junior 3-mile in 13:36.8)
Right here’s an excerpt from Virgin’s biography, written by Randy Sharer:
Craig was concerned within the opening ceremonies at which he was invited to learn the “Worldwide Prep Oath.” As Centrowitz remembers it, “The remainder of us have been laughing or couldn’t consider how a lot Craig was doing to advertise the meet and his race on the similar time.” (Joe) Newton (the meet director) wished Craig in entrance of the group as a lot as potential.
“When Joe says to do one thing, do you flip him down?” requested Craig, whose predicament caught the eye of Ted Hayden, the famed coach of the College of Chicago Monitor Membership. Hayden urged Craig warm-up inside Prospect Excessive Faculty to remain out of the solar. After jogging by way of the hallways and locker room, Craig returned to the monitor 10 minutes earlier than the gun to spend the previous couple of moments within the shade of a Coca-Cola truck.
The race shortly became certainly one of Craig’s many solo time trials. “Craig took off and, after two laps, there was no extra race,” Centrowitz mentioned. However Craig wasn’t precisely alone because the estimated crowd of 8,000 chanted “go, Craig, go” by way of all eight laps. “They stored my morale up,” he informed a reporter later. “A crowd offers you tempo and I stored listening to the announcer calling off the instances.” The group included College of Illinois coach Gary Wieneke, who couldn’t consider what he was seeing. “Individuals actually dropped out of the competitors,” he mentioned. After the race, Craig informed Wieneke, “Sure, it was scorching, nevertheless it’s been rather a lot hotter on the tractor down at residence.” Absent from the viewers have been Craig’s mother and father, who needed to are inclined to their farm.
Craig blitzed the primary lap in 62.5 and the second in 64.9. His toes started blistering inside his red-white-and-blue Nike spikes throughout a 65.6 third lap. A fourth circuit of 66.5 put him at 4:19.5, a time that will have positioned him seventh towards a national-caliber subject within the mile contested earlier. After a 65.8 and a 66.1, Craig’s abdomen started to harm. A seventh lap of 65.9 left him needing a 64.2 to interrupt Pre’s file of 8:41.6. “Going into the ultimate 100 yards, all I might take into consideration was that I had simply missed the file on the state meet and I simply wished to make sure that I didn’t miss it once more,” Craig informed the Chicago Tribune. With the assistance of a standing ovation, Craig floor out a 63.5 final lap to finish an 8:40.9 masterpiece. “It’s over! It’s over! It’s over!” he mentioned as his spikes have been eliminated by Feldt.
It will be 35 years earlier than anybody in a race restricted to highschool runners would go sooner. Centrowitz, a straightaway behind, positioned second in a private better of 8:56.8 whereas (Robbie) Perkins was third in 9:01.1. “An excellent monitor on a cool night time, he had one other 5 – 6 seconds in him,” mentioned Perkins 36 years later. “These guys working quick at the moment would have had a tough time beating Craig Virgin that day.”
As Craig signed autographs afterward, his rapid response to the file was not pleasure. “Reduction,” he mentioned, “aid that it was over now. I had that monkey off my again.” It was an excellent factor he acquired the file when he did as a result of his toes have been so blistered he needed to pull out of the Golden West Invitational scheduled the next week. (END)
There was by no means any hazard that Virgin, nonetheless solely 17 on the time, would ever get a giant head, regardless of all of his accomplishments. “The subsequent day after I broke Pre’s file… Coach Feldt and I drove again residence in his fancy Thunderbird noon… and I acquired residence to find that my dad was baling hay out within the subject. As a substitute of celebrating… I promptly become work denims and boots… and headed out to the hay wagon to stack heavy hay bales within the warmth/humidity of southern Illinois for the remainder of the day… after which put them up within the barn. I feel my mother gave me a hug….and stuck one thing particular for me at dinner that night time….however that was the extent of my celebration of the accomplishment that I had been chasing all 12 months. That occurred rather a lot to me throughout my profession…. the farm at all times introduced me all the way down to earth…. after a few of my largest victories/accomplishments…. in addition to a few of my worst disappointments/losses. The cows or hogs or crops….didn’t care one bit about the place I had been… or what I had finished…. good or unhealthy…. all of them simply wished to be fed and watered on time! In lots of respects… I preserve that I used to be like a “white Kenyan” with their robust and bodily agrarian background. I simply didn’t should run to high school barefoot on filth roads!”.
Virgin went on to have an ideal collegiate profession at Illinois, was a 3-time Olympian at 10,000-meters, a 2-time World Cross Nation Champion, and was inducted into the U.S. Corridor of Fame in 2011.
And he was inducted into the Nationwide Excessive Faculty T&F Corridor of Fame in 2020. Sadly, his coach at Lebanon H.S., Hank Feldt, handed away simply days earlier than the ceremony came about in NY Metropolis.
“I used to be on the brink of take off and acquired a cellphone name. It simply paralyzed me,” Virgin informed the St.Louis Submit Dispatch. “How might this occur? I used to be going into my first highschool corridor of fame and my coach dies that week. I used to be heart-broken.”
