Thanks to Josh Seeherman for alerting me to the following news: Tom Carleo, NNHS Class of 1983 and 1988 Olympic Trials qualifier at 1500m, has been named General manager for the Running and Outdoor Business Units at Boston-based New Balance. Carleo had been Senior VP of Product at Saucony.
From the press release:
"Carleo has more than twenty years of experience working in the global footwear industry, including his most recent role as Senior Vice President Product for Saucony. Prior to that, Carleo worked for Nike as their Global Footwear Product Director, Cross Training, and as the company’s Senior Global Product Line Manager for Running. He was also with Nike Running and Track & Field in Japan and Oregon for more than six years. A college track and field athlete who competed in the 1988 USA Olympic Trials qualifier in the 1500 meters, Carleo earned his Bachelor of Art at Boston College."
Josh notes that Carleo is likely the fastest NN grad ever at 1500m, having run 3:46.60 while at BC, and 3:41.9 (according to Paul Hoffman's list) after college.

I don't remember him at all. I would have thought Dave Vona would have been NNHS alum 1500 AT. Is Jim Davis, a Brookline grad, still in control at NB? What is he doing hiring a Tiger?
An interesting member of the list is:
231 4:27.0 Jon Waldron Amherst'76
Carleo was an OK runner in HS and at UMass then BC around 4:20's usually. The 1988 Olympic trials claim is fiction. Go ahead and look it up he was not there 1988 in Indy.
