1. Interview with Royce Flippin.  In the Mid 70's there was one name in distance running when it concerned Mercer County- Royce Flippin.  For his last 3 years Royce Flippin dominated Mercer County and took his name on the road racing such legends as Alberto Salazar and Kevin Byrne.  Royce went on to run at Princeton University (still on the All-Time List for the indoor 2 Mile) and is now a successful editor and free lance writer in New York City.

2. Interview with Kevin Byrne. As a sophomore at Bergen Catholic Byrne established himself as a potential great.  As a junior and senior at Paramus Catholic Kevin sent his running career into orbit.  As a senior Kevin ran a still-standing record of 4:08 on the Madison Square Garden's 11 lap / mile track, weeks later he set the former state 2 mile record of 8:59.7 ( a record broken by our own Brian Leung). Kevin went on to run at Georgetown University.  Mr. Byrne's son is now a standout freshman at Red Bank Catholic. .
