Wall of Fame
Massapequa (NY) HS 1969, New York A.C. 1971, Villanova 1974
Twice a winner of the high school mile, McElroy also competed for the New York A.C. during a college transfer year. Once arriving at Villanova he ran on five championship relays, three in 1973 and two as a senior in 1974. Both relays in 1974 set meet records, the distance medley which he led off, and the 4-mile relay on which he ran second leg. While the DMR record was broken the next year, the 4-mile record was not broken on conversion from 4x1500 for 10 years.
