Tom Byers (athlete)
Thomas Joseph Byers, Jr. (born 1956) is a former professional distance runner and current businessman. He gained notoriety in 1981 when, running as a designated pacemaker or 'rabbit' in the high profile 1500 metres race at the Bislett Games in Oslo, he won a race including world class 1500m runners such as Steve Ovett after the rest of the field refused to follow his early pacesetting.
==Career==
He was a runner at The Ohio State University in the 1970s and still holds the outdoor OSU distance record in the 1500m (3.37.5). He held the mile record (4:00.10.) until Jeff See broke it on June 2, 2007.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ohiostatebuckeyes.com/fls/17300/pdf/mtrack/History.pdf?ATCLID=945283&SPSID=89220&SPID=10412&DB_OEM_ID=17300 )〕 During his time at OSU, he also won the U.S. Junior 1500m title, finished second at the AAU outdoor championships, and participated in the '76 Olympic Trials.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://members.aol.com/track2ceo/byers.html )〕 Byers temporarily retired from competitive running for several years to join the corporate world, but returned to professional running in the 1980s. One thing for which Byers was noteworthy was his hair. Unlike most middle and long distance runners, who wore their hair short, Byers chose to wear his long.〔(http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/archive/past_issues/1982covers.html)〕
His 3:50.84 mile ranks 7th fastest by a United States runner, while his 2:16.1 in the 1000 meters is the second fastest by a US runner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.fasterrunning.com/oldsite/alltimebest.htm )〕
