Later in the day, Eric would also set the SJS record in the 3200.[4] A week later, both became state champions at the 1986 CIF California State Meet, Eric winning the 3200 in a meet record 8:44.95 while Mark won the 1600 by almost 4 seconds in 4:07.81. The previous year both brothers had finished behind Roman Gomez in their respective events.[5] He later attended Stanford University, where he was an NCAA All-American in track. Both brothers competed on the United States team at the 1987 IAAF World Cross Country Championships – Junior men's race, Mark finishing 62nd and Eric finishing 100th.
