Community development A primal appeal motivates Warrenton ultra-marathoner director to leave post Principal an extreme runner By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian W ARRENTON — War- renton Grade School Principal Tom Rogozinski has literally run across America. The mild-mannered, 49-year-old career educator has been running ultra-mar- athons since college, from nonstop 200-mile footraces through the wilderness to a Tour de France-style run in stages from New York City to Los Angeles. Last month, Rogozinski covered 206 miles in 90 hours through Washington’s Gif- ford Pinchot National Forest. Earlier this month , he cov- ered another 206 miles in 78 hours around Lake Tahoe. Next month, he will tackle 238 miles from Moab, Utah, through the Canyonlands and Arches national parks, the fi nal leg in the Triple Crown of 200s that has become a yearly ritual for Rogozinski, always trying to test his limits. From Pittsburgh, Rogoz- inski ran track at Indiana Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. At 22, he helped crew for a friend running the 50-mile Massanut- ten Mountain Massacre race in Virginia in 1990. Intrigued, he entered on the day of the race , fi nished in the top 10 and was hooked .
