FAQ (Maybe this should be a new page but I'll put it here for now)

 

When did High Noon start and who named it?

Of course people have run from Teagle Hall at Cornell for many years. TJ Pempel and Larry Prudhome among others predate the naming of High Noon by several years. In 1982 however, John Walsh and John Saylor (who had been part of the noon time group for several years) decided they wanted to have a group identity and team to run for. After several runs of discussing what to call it, John Walsh said "We always get together at noon so let's call it High Noon". He declared John Saylor President for Life and that was it.

 

What is the criteria for inclusion in HN?

The only criteria is that you've once run in Ithaca at high noon- if you are reading this, you are probably a member!!! The list of members below is out of date. So if you consider yourself a member, put your name here and the year when you first started.

 

Where did the High Noon AC logo come from?

The High Noon AC logo which depicts a blazing sun is printed on High Noon singlets and t-shirts was inspired by the the Japanese Rising Sun and conceived by John Saylor and designed by John in collaboration with Claude Schyler in (date??)
