Prior to 1973 the NCAA was divided into the University and College Divisions. College Division schools were those which would be either Division II or Division III today. Beginning in 1985, All-American honors were given to the top eight finishers at the NCAA III outdoor championship rather than the top six. Saint John's athletes who finished 7th or 8th prior to 1985 include: Chuck Moorse, 1980, 800 meters, 7th; 4x400-meter relay team (Mike Frericks, Chris Longbella, Tom Frericks, Chuck Moorse), 1981, 7th; Bob Morris, 1982, steeplechase, 7th; Jim Gathje, 1983, steeplechase, 8th; Charlie Mahler, 1984, 10,000 meters, 7th.
