NJCAA harriers came to Tallahassee to race for a championship in 1973

Leon County established the Apalachee Regional Park Cross-Country Course on the west side of Tallahassee, Florida in 2009. A few years later, in 2016, the venue hosted a national title meet for the first time--the USATF Master's 5K National Championship. By the end of the year, ARPXC had seen two more United States championships, the AAU National Championships and the USATF National Club Championships. After that, national title meets were an annual happening at ARPXC. 2017 was the Junior Olympic National Championship. 2018 was the USATF National Championship. 2019 was the USATF National Championship, the selection meet for the USA teams at the World Cross-Country Championship Meet. Apalachee Regional Park didn't land any nationwide meets in 2020, but the NCAA-D1 National Cross-Country Championship Meet is slated for ARPXC in 2021, and the NJCAA Division I and Division II National Championships are coming in 2022.


But before ARPXC, Tallahassee saw at least three national championship cross-country events. The first of those was the fifteenth annual National Junior College Athletic Association Cross-Country National Championship, held at Seminole Golf Course on Saturday, 10 November 1973. The 1973 NJCAA meet is the topic for this "Results From The Attic" blog.

Cross-country at FSU's Seminole Golf Course

Tallahassee Community College didn't have a cross-country program in 1973, but more than a few Florida two-year colleges did, such as Pensacola Junior College. PJC had hosted the NJCAA national championship meet in 1966 and 1972. Jacksonville's Florida Junior College (later Florida Community College-Jacksonville and now Florida State College Jacksonvillle) also competed in cross-country. FJC was selected to host the 1973 NJCAA meet, but turned to Tallahassee for a venue, where Florida State University had successfully held their Cross-Country Invitational and other meets on the Seminole Golf Course and adjoining FSU Dairy Farm (closed since 1969). So, as JuCo Review laconically reported, "The race was hosted by Florida Junior College of Jacksonville, Florida, but run at FSU because of superior facilities."


It wasn't a meet you could hold in a school yard. There were 35 teams and more than 360 athletes. Seminole Golf Course had ample wide opens spaces, and the course featured a 600-yard opening straight before the runners made their first turn, veering left to follow an old Dairy Farm Road. Even so, traffic was still a problem. Paul Stemmer, racing for Pittsburgh's Community College of Allegheny County, got caught up in the mob.


"Stemmer...started unusually slow and had to fight through the crowd of more than 360 runners," reported the Pittsburgh Press. "Because of his slow start, he was boxed in at the first turn 600 yards from the starting line and ran into the steel pole marking the boundary. It shook him up but he was not injured."


Failing to run through the pole, Stemmer went around it. Shaking off his collision, he moved up through the field to take fourth for the Wildcats, running 18:53. Five Allegheny County harriers cracked the top 25 and made NJCAA All-American--Stemmer, Howie Orndoff (13th, 19:09), Bob Beck (23rd, 19:21), John Jennings (24th, 19:22), and Brian Dodge (25th, 19:23). That gave Allegheny County 72 points. But well in front of Stemmer, John Roscoe of Southwestern Michigan had won the race in 18:41.5. Southwestern Michigan had two other All-Americans, Tim Tobin (12th, 19:09) and Brian Petroff (16th, 19:12). Their other two scorers were Pat Tobin (27th, 19:26) and Ed Muro (31st, 19:30). Those five totaled 72 points as well. Allegheny County and Southwestern Michigan had tied for the NJCAA title.


If you look through the finishers of the 1973 race, you'll see many athletes who went on to run for four-year schools. John Roscoe, the winner, raced for Kansas after leaving Southwestern Michigan. Roscoe also made the 1975 USA National Team that went to the World Cross-Country Championships in Rabat, Morocco, where his teammates included Olympians Bill Rodgers, Frank Shorter, and Jeff Galloway.


Once all 360 or so athletes had crossed the finish line, the meet was over. There was only one race. NJCAA didn't add Division II and Division III competition till 1991. Women had to wait till 1976 for their own championship. When Tallahassee hosts the NJCAA Championship again in 2022, the meet at Apalachee Regional Park will include Division I and Division II, men and women, for a total of four races.

The 2022 NJCAA Cross-Country National Championship Meet is coming to Apalachee Regional Park

"Keep your ears open for a big announcement in the coming days," Tallahassee Community College Athletic Director Rob Chaney told me.


Less than a week later, the news broke. On 29 April 2020 the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announced the venue of their Division I and II cross-country national championships for 2021 through 2023. The 2022 meet will be at Apalachee Regional Park Championship Cross-Country Course, east of Tallahassee, Florida. According to USTFCCA, competition is scheduled for Saturday morning, 12 November 2022.


The Tallahassee Community College Eagles have already hosted the NJCAA Region 8 Championship Meet at Apalachee Regional Park annually since 2016, the year that the Eagles started fielding a cross-country team. The course has a history of national championship events, starting with the USATF Master’s 5K Cross Country National Championship on 6 November 2016. Since then, ARPXC has seen the AAU National Championships on 3 December 2016, the USATF National Club Cross-Country Championships on 10 December 2016, the USATF Junior Olympic XC National Championship on 9 December 2017, the USATF National Cross-Country Championship on 3 February 2018, and the USATF National Cross-Country Championship on 3 February 2019. Further, Florida State University is scheduled to host the NCAA D1 Cross-Country National Championship on the Apalachee Regional Park course on 20 November 2021.


Division II is new in NJCAA cross country; competition in that category starts in 2020. Division II schools may offer limited athletic scholarships--tuition, books, fees, and no more than $250 in required course supplies. The 2021 Division I and Division II championship meet will be at Pole Green Park in Richmond, Virginia on 13 November 2021. Division I and Division II squads will contest the 2023 championships on the Tom Rutledge Cross-Country Course in Joplin, Missouri on 11 November 2023.

Kent Mills was Florida State's Marathon Man at Boston in 1960

Monday, 20 April 2020, won’t be a typical Patriots’ Day in Boston, Massachusetts. Because of CoViD-19, the bars won’t be open. The Red Sox won’t be playing in Fenway Park. The Boston Marathon won’t be run, rescheduled for 14 September 2020. And with no Marathon, there will be no one at the starting line in Hopkinton from Tallahassee, Florida.


Tallahassee athletes have been racing the Boston Marathon for quite some time. In fact, back on Patriots’ Day 19 April 1960, Florida State University junior Kent Mills made the trip from Tallahassee to Hopkinton for the 64th annual Boston. It was what Tom Derderian, a historian of the event, described as “A perfect day for running. A 15-mile-an-hour tailwind on a clear, brisk 50 °F day.” Taking advantage of the conditions, Mills ran 2:48:59, placing 26th overall.


It was a smaller race then, with only 156 starters. Of those, 83 finished. Among those who dropped out along the way was John J. Kelley, the 1957 Boston champion. The 1960 race was also one of three Olympic Trial Marathons for the United States team. In spite of not finishing, Kelley was placed on the U.S. squad. It was a different time.


For Mills, Boston wasn’t his first marathon, nor his fastest. In fact, Mills was already a national marathon champion, in spite of having only been a runner for less than three years.


Growing up in Pontiac, Michigan, Mills hadn’t run in high school. He took up the sport as a freshman at Florida State University during the 1957-1958 academic year, coached by Mike Long. Mills raced the half-mile that year, running 2:01. Even in the 1950s, that performance wasn’t NCAA All-American material. But Mills’ future was in the longer distances. As a sophomore he set the Florida State school record in the two-mile run, going 9:31.4 during the 1959 track season.


Florida State didn’t have a cross-country team in 1959, so late that fall Mills made his own way into Alabama for the third annual Troy Chamber of Commerce Cross-Country Meet. The meet was hosted by Troy State coach Nick Costes, the 1955 US national champion in the marathon and a member of the 1956 US Olympic Marathon team. If Mills hadn’t been thinking about the marathon already, he was now. And the AAU was hosting the National Junior Marathon Championship in Atlantic City, New Jersey on 2 January 1960.


“The team couldn’t afford to send me,” Mills told the school newspaper, the Flambeau. “The University doesn’t sponsor a cross-country team, and the track team was in no position to pay my way up. I wanted to run so bad I could taste it...I had never run the distance before, but I wanted to try.”


So Mills spent nine days of the winter break hitchhiking north, spending seventeen hours on the road. He made it to Philadelphia at 2:00 AM on 27 December 2020, just eleven hours before the start of the Middle Atlantic Road Runners’ Club Cross-Country Championship. Mills won that 10,000-meter race in 33:51.


After spending nearly a week in Philadelphia, Mills found a ride with another athlete heading to Atlantic City for the Marathon. He trailed during the first half of the out-and-back route. With ten miles to go in the 26.2-mile race, Mills moved up into the lead group. He began to push the pace after that, dropping the rest of the leaders.


“I thought, ‘This can’t be right, I can’t be winning this race,’” Mills told the Flambeau.


Nevertheless, Mills won the race by over half a mile, taking the national title with a 2:30:35. At the end of the year, it would stand as the eighth-fastest marathon by an American during 1960, an Olympic year.


The day after the race, Mills started hitchhiking back to Tallahassee.


Unlike the Junior National Marathon, Boston was in the middle of track season and in the middle of Florida State’s spring session. Mills still made it to Massachusetts for the race, but his 2:48:59 was well off what he had run in his first marathon. Several of the athletes he had beaten in Atlantic City were among the 25 runners ahead of him at Boston. Six days later, Mills was back in Florida, racing at Gainesville in the FSU-UF dual meet. He took third in the mile and second in the two-mile for the Seminoles. Florida State won that day, and the team went undefeated during the 1960 season.


Mills spent another year competing for Florida State before graduating in 1961. He did not log any more marathon victories as a Seminole. But if you’re ever in Hopkinton on the starting line of the Boston Marathon, remember that Kent Mills was there before you.

Tallahassee goes to the Gate River Run, 2020 edition

Once again, Jacksonville, Florida's Gate River Run was the USATF National Championship for the 15K on the roads. Ridouane Harroufi won the 43rd annual race and the national title in 44:42, with close competition from Frank Lara (2nd, 44:44), Abbabiya Simbassa (3rd, 44:45), and Zachery Panning (4th, 44:46). Marielle Hall was the women's national champion, coming in 25th overall in 48:52--well ahead of the duel for second between Natosha Rogers (31st, 49:50) and Eden Meyer (32nd, 49:52). 12,319 runners were recorded as finishing the race.


Once again, Tallahassee was well represented at River Run, with 109 athletes from Florida's capital city among the 12,319 finishers of the 9.3-mile race. For the third year in a row Chris Haynes was the top Tallahassee runner in the race; the former Jacksonville resident placed twentieth overall in 48:02. Ann Centner was the the first Tallahassee woman in Jacksonville, finishing 85th overall and 24th in the women's standings with a 55:02. Centner was also the second Tallahassee finisher. The third Tallahassee finisher was Laura DiBella who was also the fastest Tallahassee master runner in the River Run. Dibella ran 61:29, the 219th finisher and 45th woman. At 62:04 Paul Guyas was Tallahassee's first male master in the 15K,


They could have stayed in Tallahassee and raced. Back home, they could have found a hill--several hills, in fact--as challenging as the Hart Bridge, that 52-year-old "Green Monster." They could have skipped the 400-mile round trip and the stops at the Busy Bee along I-10. Instead, they went to River Run.


Here's a complete list of Tallahassee finishers.
