Casey’s 4 MI in Buffalo, NY on July 15, 1989

 (I started writing about Nancy Mieszczak’s 32-year-old races back in 2010. I thought they’d been too much fun to be enjoyed just once; and, maybe just a little bit, I wanted to show The Kids how the Old Folks used to roll back in the days of yore. Anyways, I initially crammed a bunch of her races into one continuing post. Lately I’ve been writing them up one by one. If you’re interested, you can start from the beginning here.)

Distance: 4.00 miles

Time: 23:05

Place: 2

Prize: $400

∑ Career Earnings: $19,229

 

The Skinny: Nancy Oshier won.

 

Jim Nowicki got Subaru to bankroll this race annually, and it began to draw premier athletes over the years. But July 15 in the afternoon usually meant a too-hot day for Nancy to thrive.

 

Coming up next time: The Bix 7
