He won the Washington's Birthday Marathon in 1963, 1967, and 1968. He ran his fastest marathon at the 1967 Boston Marathon, when he placed fourth overall in a time of 2:17:17.[2] Running careerCollegiateLou Castagnola attended Virginia Tech, where he competed in cross country and track. In cross country, he was the Southern Conference Champion in 1959 and 1960, winning the 4-mile race in 20:35 and 21:06, respectively.[3] In track, he specialized in the mile and 2-mile.[4] In academics, he earned a degree in Electrical Engineering.[4] Post-collegiateAfter college, Castagnola joined the Washington Running Club, where he trained for the marathon. He set the course record for the Washington's Birthday Marathon in 1967 with a time of 2:22:45, after having won the same marathon on two previous occasions.[5] He was also successful in shorter distances, and on May 20, 1967 he won the men's 2-mile at the DC AAU track meet in 9:14.0.[1] In 1968, he was one of several elite distance runners who were physiologically tested by researcher David Costill. After having just run his career-best 2:17 marathon in Boston, Castagnola's vertical leap was only 11.5 inches, which surprised researchers.[5] After three years of relative inactivity since he stopped running, he was tested by Costill again in 1971, and in spite of his vVO2max capacity having deteriorated by more than a third, his vertical leap had increased to 20.3 inches.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://more.arrs.run/runner/9442|work=Association of Road Racing Statisticians|title=Runner: Louis Castagnola|format=via Wayback Machine|df=dmy-all}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/distance-runner-and-engineer-lou-castagnola-dies-at-76/2013/01/17/1a344e14-60ce-11e2-a389-ee565c81c565_story.html|author=Washington Post|title=Distance runner and engineer Lou Castagnola dies at 76|date=January 17, 2013|accessdate=December 12, 2015}} 3. ^ Southern ConferenceCross Country Record Book (2011) 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/pilotonline/obituary.aspx?pid=161771331|author=The Virginia Pilot|title=Obituaries: Louis C.
