Henry Marsh

Henry Dinwoodey Marsh (born March 15, 1954 in Boston, Massachusetts) is a retired long-distance runner from the United States, who represented his native country in the men's 3,000 meter Steeplechase in three Summer Olympics, starting in 1976.

Marsh was USA's top steeplechaser during the 1980s, and attended Brigham Young University. He never won an NCAA title during his career, finishing second (1976) and third (1977 and 1978), but he won the national 3,000-meter steeplechase championship ten years in a row, from 1978 through 1987. Marsh's mark of 8:09.17, established in 1985, was an American record until broken by Daniel Lincoln on August 11, 2006.

During the 1984 Olympic Games, Marsh entered the event with a #2 world ranking. On race day for the 3,000 meter steeplechase finals, Marsh finished fourth, then collapsed to the track and was carried out of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on a gurney.

Marsh was a co-founder of Monavie and currently serves as the company's executive vice-president.

Marsh is a Latter-day Saint. [ [http://www.mormonolympians.org/mormon_olympians/previousolympics.html Mormon Olympians] ]
