But what I most remember is the competition. My first race was a novice 1000 in 1961. As a skinny high school frosh who had only been training for weeks I figured how hard could a "novice" race be? Well it was really tough. Winning a medal in a novice or varsity race would move you up to open races. It was extremely difficult to medal against the CHSAA, PSAL, and various suburban communities who came to race. It was a great experience. I was so pleased when it reopened as a track facility in 1994. The banked track brought many more teams. It was so fast that I told me kids that there was a gigantic turntable underneath that moved the track in the same direction as you were running to ensure fast times.
