Frank Shorter had TWO litres of beer at the Hofbrauhaus the night before the race.

how old was Frank when he transfered from Yale to Florida? He won the Olympic Marathon when he was only 24.

Frank ran in highschool but no where near elite level... He did run at Yale couple of times and was still no where near favorite.. although the move to Florida track Club made him badass!!

Frank Shorter also finished 5th in the 10,000 meters at Munich (27:50, I think) in an epic race... amazing that he ran a sub-28 minute 10K and then won the gold at the marathon like a week later... I loved his technique and his running gait, very elegant and composed

Does anybody know what Frank ran in high school, or how he progressed in college?

If you can find his autobiography Olympic Gold: A Runner's Life and Times, sadly out of print, you'll find that he was a good high school runner. He was the New England Prep School Cross Country Champion his senior year at Northfield (a boarding prep school in Massachusetts).
He attended Yale university, but was not that serious about the sport. His coach recognized he had lots of talent. Senior year he got serious and won the NCAA 6-Mile championship.
