Larry Lian
In a 1973 article in EvCC’s student newspaper, “The Clipper,” Larry Lian said that the most important aspect of running hurdle races is technique – “with hard training and mere guts a close second.” Lian combined all these aspects to become the school record holder in both high and intermediate hurdle races. He won the 1973 NWAAC championship in both the 110 meter 400 meter hurdle races, recording school records that still stand today (14.54s in the 110m hurdles and 53.04s in the 400m hurdles). A long-time resident of Lake Stevens, Lian coached AAU and junior athletics for over 20 years.
