Sounds like you are on the right side of the curve.

Sure does. Herbie competed in T&F in college though, I think. Was it D1? Even a mediocre or poor D1 athlete in track and field is almost certainly, relative to the population as a whole, pretty far to the right of the curve.

Yeah, the service academies are D1. We even won indoor and outdoor conference my senior year once BYU moved to a different conference.
