Steve Scott was a local North County resident who is a very fast runner. In 1986, he set the 5K World Record on the streets of Carlsbad. This photo is the top three rounding the final turn and sprinting for home.
Steve is a really nice guy and was the celebrity athlete for his hometown hospital fundraiser. This is a hazy start for the 1988 10K.
Big event in a small town, so everybody is there.
I was friends with the race organizer, so as a "thanks" to Steve for being the race personality, in 1987 they gave him a framed photo that I took of him winning the world record.
The last time I saw Steve was in the San Diego Stadium parking lot for the Raiders-Chargers Monday Night Football game on Halloween night.
