- I believe Bjorklund ran 4:05 his senior year; the best HS time in the nation
- that year (Prefontaine was #2). He and Mike Slack hooked up at the state meetand went through the half in something like 1:55 (OUCH!). Slack ended up
- running something like 3:38 a few years after graduating from North Dakota
- State U. There were a lot of promising HS distance runners in the 70's,
- but I think Danielson was the last to break 4:00 while still in high school.
