    I'm pretty positive that it is strictly indoors from the Jack Shepard High School Track books, which has not published this year's book which would include last year's times with the likes of Spooner, Dorrell, and Witt.

    Bynum Merritt of Woodberry Forest ran a 9:14.2 2 mile indoors at the Naval Academy in 1974 (or 73).
    If you are counting outdoors, Robbie Perkins of Collegiate ran a 2 mile in 8:57.6 at the State Private Schools meet at Woodberry in 1973.

    The list is from indoor from 1974 - 2005. Shepard had a cut off at 9:12.6 for his list for 1974 and his all-time list had a cut off at 9:05.2 for that year.

    Hey, STCCC --

    Nice to hear someone else remembers Bynum Merritt.
    He won the Georgetwon Prep Invitational of '73.
    Beat a very strong field.
    Sent us Baltimore based runners back home feeling a lot more humble.
