Haha! But technically it's Nancy and Julie Anne! But that sounds awesome! Meet you at Harwood Court, 170 East Bonita Avenue in Claremont, California, next April? Or maybe downtown Peekskill, NY?

Oh, I found the reference in the FOL Reunion movie: they're just about to visit the Eastland campus. Blair says she can't run. Tootie/Dorothy says that Blair never could run, "Sue Ann was on the track team!" Kinda a snub to Cindy, not mentioning her being on the track team as well, but Sue Ann was on the track team longer, and did win track awards (we never find out how Cindy and/or Sue Ann placed in 1980), so there's that.

They do also mention Mr. Parker and Roy, when they go into the school.

Oo, interesting...and yeah, Cindy wasn't on the team, she just "almost ran" that one year.

Or did she?

Oo, what a good point---we don't know what happened! lol

YES!

Wherever that set is!

Well, I'm pretty sure all the sets are gone, as FOL was mostly taped at Metromedia Square, which has been demolished. Though that article states that the shows after '82 were taped at Universal Studios. Still, the exteriors for Eastland were shot at Pomona College, at Harwood Court, and that site can be (and is) visited by fans of the show.

I assume she did run... Why do all that training and then not run? And the following year, she's still wearing her track suit, so it's likely, though not 100% certain, that she was on the track team for two years, IMO.

They must have had a pretty good track team at Eastland, since we know that Sue Ann, Cindy and Terry were all track team members (or trying out for track) at one time or another.

Oo, exteriors, nice...and yes, I was being rhetorical about the indoor set, lol.

Good point, since she had a track suit she very well could have been on the team.

Haha! I actually like the Oxford comma very much! Don't know why I didn't use it there, as I prefer to to use it when making lists, separating items, and keeping things grammatically organized.

Me too! I hope Eastland teaches it!
