---------------------------------------------- Paul Noreen of Blaine, MN, has been running for 60 years, and coached high school track and cross country (including Olympian Bob Kempainen) for 43 years before retiring. Ran for the University of Minnesota in college with Buddy Edelen (1964 Olympian).
Best mile time in college was 4:17. AAU did not allow him to race in his early adult years because he was a coach. So all his road PRs came as a Master's runner, from a 31:10 10K at age 44 to a 1:06 half-marathon at age 42 to a 2:27:27 marathon at age 40.
