Chuck Fenske
Chuck Fenske didn't even go out for track and cross country until his
senior year at West Allis High School, but before his track career was
over he won a NCAA mile championship, set or tied six world records,
won six Big Ten titles and won the mile, half mile and two mile in
every dual and triangular met during his senior year at the University
of Wisconsin.
Fenske won the famed Mile of the Century at
Princeton, besting the legendary Glenn Cunningham. His Wisconsin ties
went beyond UW, since he also starred for one year at Carroll College.
