Ron Moran, a graduate of York High School, was a force on the track during the mid-1980s at Nebraska Wesleyan. The seven-time All-American wrote his name into the NWU record books, having broken three school records individually and as a member of three record-setting, relay teams.
Moran was named an indoor All-American four times with outstanding performances in the NCAA Division III 1500, NAIA Distance Medley Relay and twice in the mile. At the NCAA level in outdoor track, he earned All-America honors in the 800 once and the 1500 twice.
The 1986 graduate holds the school record in the indoor 1000 yards (2:13.4) and mile (4:10.7). He was also a member of the record-holding indoor 4x880 relay (7:44.2) and Sprint Medley Relay (3:34.6). He ran the fastest outdoor 1500 ever at NWU (3:49.0) and was on the record-setting Distance Medley Relay (9:52.0) in 1985.
Moran also guided the 1983 and 1984 cross country teams to a birth in the NAIA national meet. In 1984, he placed 85th out of 350 runners to lead the Plainsmen to a 25th place finish overall.
