Hall of Fame
Lucian Rosa was a 1972 and 1976 Olympian. In 1974, he was fourth in the Boston Marathon and ranked 11th in the world. In the 1976 Olympics, he was the only runner defending gold medalist Frank Shorter feared. Standing at the starting line, Lucian was not allowed to run because his country withdrew for political reasons. While running for the Rangers, he was an eight-time All-American and six-time national champion. He won the USTFF Marathon three times, the NAIA Marathon twice and the NAIA six-mile once. Lucian coached the Rangers in men’s cross-country and track from 1977-2007.
