A special 2-mile race featuring top runners from 10 states is the highlight of this meet being staged by David and Aron Taylor in honor of Gerry Lindgren, one of the most legendary high school runners ever. Running for Rogers Spokane WA high school, Lindgren set national records in 1964 that still stand, including the indoor 2 mile record (8:40.0), indoor 3000 meters (8:06.3), and the outdoor 3-mile record (13:17.0). He held the 5000 meter record (13:44.0) for 40 years until it was broken last year by Galen Rupp. The Taylors said Lindgren will be present for the race, along with Jeff Nelson, who set the outdoor 2-mile record of 8:36.3 in 1979. The race will be televised live at 6:05 pm on the CBS affiliate in Salt Lake City.
