Glenn Ogden ’65 was one of the finest runners in school history. After a Hall of Fame career for the Blue and White, he attended the University of Missouri where he won two Conference Championships for the Tigers and set the 2 mile record with a time of 8:46.0.

In the above photo, Ogden is running against one of the biggest names in the history of American sports: Jim Ryun. In 1964 Ryun became the first high schooler to smash the 4-minute mile barrier by running a blazing 3:59.0 as a junior. His litany of accomplishments include being a three-time Olympian, setting the mile and 2 mile world records as a 19-year-old, and being named Sports Illustrated’s “Sportsman of the Year.”
