One of the top long distance runners along the East Coast during the early 1980s, Troy Billings ('83) earned All-America honors at the NCAA Cross Country Championships as a junior, marking the Terriers' first since 1954. A native of Lakewood, Colo., he was selected team MVP as a sophomore in 1981 after placing eighth in the two-mile run at the Indoor NCAAs and finishing third in the 5,000-meter race at the prestigious Penn Relays. Leaving BU as the record holder in the mile and two-mile run, he helped guide the Terriers to a pair of outdoor track & field New England titles along with four indoor championships. A NCAA qualifier in both events as a sophomore, he also qualified for the 5,000-meterat the Outdoor NCAAs in both 1981 and 1982.
