Postal History: Founded in 1956 by cross country coach Forrest Jamieson the "Postal" idea was presented to Track&FieldNews. Bert & Cordner Nelson seeing the potential of such an event quickly jumped behind the high school coaches idea. The event culminated with a National Championship awarded based upon five man relay teams and published in the Prep Panorama section of Track & Field News. Before the internet era the Bible of Our Sport supported the idea of annual fall national postal competitions. The high school competition featured a five-man two-mile & three-mile total team time run on the track. Each season's top team receiving a special championship award from Track & Field News.
