Posted by gary on January 23, 2007, 12:26 pm, in reply to "Re: Boston Marathon 1982 - Mystery runner - looking for info" Directly from this http://www.mainerunninghistory.org/board/boston_80s_2.pdf issue of NE runner here is the result I think you are looking for? This page http://www.mainerunninghistory.org/board/boston_80s_1.pdf shows all Mainers at the Boston Marathon during the 80s and in 191st place is a Lee Nicely AGE 48 in 3:30:03 from 1982. Hope this is what you need and trust you can show this to whomever it may concern over at the BAA. While you are talking to them ask them if I can use my New Years Boston run as a qualifier..laugh! or at the very least ask them to come out to give me a cup of water on 1-1-2008 .....take care, hope this helps. PS we did have a time typo 3:33:03 vs actual 3:30:03 for Lee Nicely on MRH and have fixed it http://www.mainerunninghistory.org/results/april_boston_80s.pdf --Previous Message--

: We have a Lee Nicely AGE 48 in 191st place
: on the list (below) finishing the 1982
: Boston Marathon in 3:33:03. I'm pretty sure
: I typed this list myself from an old issue
: of NE Runner and will check and see if I
: can't see and type and may have reversed the
: age. I'll try to scan the orginal if I can
: find it.

: As we find by looking at the Maine Running
: History site, results as recent as the
: mid-1980's are not always 100% accurate.
: Such is the case with Boston Marathon as
: well.
:
: That said, does anyone know about a runner
: from Gorham, Lee D. Nicely, who might have
: run 3:30 in 1982 AT AGE 84? The BAA is
: trying to determine if it's real or if it
: was a typo. I would think a performance
: like this would have been statewide news at
: the time.
: See the following message.
: If anyone knows the person in general, or
: his running exploits in particular, please
: post and let me know.
: Thanks.

: Steve -- Our Media Guide has always listed
: one Lee D. Nicely, at 84 years old, (born
: 1898) from Gorham, Maine, ran the Boston
: Marathon in 1982 in a time of 3:30:03. I
: have checked later results and can find no
: record of him. I'm of the impression that
: it was a typo, however, we can't delete the
: entry until we have more definite
: information. Do you have any contacts in
: Maine who can provide any information on
: him? Only two older runners I know from
: Maine are the Mazzeo brothers and and
: Carlton Mendell Thank you. Gloria
