I believe he lived in Lee's Summit, MO. Wasn't sure if he moved to K.C. later in his career but he would definitely be near the top of this list. He was one of the top 10k road runners in the world. Love your article Mr. Rinkenbaugh and I definitely was a huge Joe Falcon fan. Saw him run at KU Relays and also some NCAA meets. He also coached at Southwest Missouri State in Springfield, MO.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246696401645194537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117677181095992730.post-58599716987677908982009-10-05T06:14:22.710-07:002009-10-05T06:14:22.710-07:00Dear Rink, what a pleasure to run across your exce...Dear Rink, what a pleasure to run across your excellent "blog".

If we contain the list to high school, you would end up spending most of your time listing the numerous state champions at Shawnee Mission South from 1970-1980.

She has more All-American honors than Fein but in my estimation her times just fall short.
