The winner of multiple North Central Conference championships in track and field, Bob Friedman led by example as one of UNI's top distance runners in the late 1970s. A four-time all-American 1,500-meter runner from Carroll, Iowa, Friedman earned fifth place at the 1976 NCAA Championships as well as a pair of fourth-place finishes in 1977 and 1978 and runner-up in 1979.Â
Friedman set a number of school relay records during his Panther career, with several of his marks still ranking among the fastest in program history to this day. His 1,500-meter time of 3 minutes, 44.06 seconds from the 1979 season stood as a school record until 2002 and remains the third fastest mark in program history.Â
