1979 KELROF

This is the unofficial score sheet for the "Ten Moles" team that ran in Caltech's famous KELROF 24-hour relay on May 19-20, 1979. We ran 211 miles, 340 yards. We were one of seven teams that ran that year, racking up a combined total of 1496 miles, 1137 yards, a KELROF record that (to my knowledge) stands to this day.

Team Members

• Larry Doolittle
• Ari Fuad
• Davis Finley
• Ali Fotowat-Ahmady
• Steve Ryan
• Derek Davis
• Jeff Ronne
• Kurt Bachman
• Sethu Palaniappan

I (Larry Doolittle) typed this in 1979 on my SCM portable typewriter. I thank Derek Davis, who found his copy many years later and sent me this scan.

• Nice essay from Mark Eichenlaub about his 2008 participation with a record-breaking team. Too bad the cert for ideotrope.org has expired.
