By now the world knows Alan Webb lost to the Aussie in the Fifth Avenue Mile — a New York City road race with lots of pretensions. But don’t forget the age-groupers. Great times were turned in by Alston Brown of the Central Park TC (He ran 4:46 at age 56) and Sid Howard of the same club — 5:39 at age 66. The oldest entrant was David Gerli, 94, who strode home in 18:53. Hey — YOU try running a mile in your nineties! For more detailed results, see the race home page.
