Honoring Bob Bartling
Aug. 26, 1926 — Feb. 24, 2024 By Dave Graves President, Prairie Striders Running Club The designation of legend gets overused. But with Bob there is no other word. He broke ground by becoming an adult runner in the late 1960s. That was unheard of then. He went on to become an accomplished master’s runner and an even greater advocate for the sport of running as well as a charter member of Prairie Striders Running Club. If you were a fan of SDSU athletics, a casual or serious runner, or just enjoyed a good beer, you had a friend in Bob Bartling. He was a genuine man with an eye for excellence and a smile for everyone. I hope I never forget the twinkle in Bob’s eye. Brookings is poorer because of his departure, but we’re all abundantly blessed to have known him. |
