Thurston County Men's All-Time Track Middle And Long-Distance Records

The All-Time Track bests for any age in the men's middle and long-distance events in Thurston County are below. I am verifying the year of  Dave Gordon's record times in the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters currently. The year for both records was 1985 or 1986.  

Dave attended Capital High School and The University of Montana before running for Nike's Athletic West.

I attended North Thurston High School and The University of Montana before running for the Reebok Harriers.
