He ran mostly mile and 2-mile races at Randolph High (Class of 1966), his best mile there, shortly before graduation, 4 minutes, 4.5 seconds – which, almost five decades later, still stands as the school record. The 4:04.5 was the fastest mile by a U.S. high school runner when Dulong crossed the finish line, but it was broken nationally within weeks. Dulong won numerous league, state and New England titles. Further, he was national 2-mile champion with a 9:03.4 clocking – it was an age group record, the fastest 2-mile ever run by a 16-year-old at the time. At Holy Cross (Class of ’70, Hall of Fame ’77), he frequently ran on the 2-mile relay team, occasionally a mile but mostly 2- and 3-milers. Dulong won the New England collegiate cross country championship twice, the IC4As twice and held the meet record at both events. He was a New England champion indoors in the mile and 2-mile, and outdoors in the mile, 3-mile and 3,000-meter steeplechase. He graduated with nine individual Holy Cross records, four indoors and five outdoors. The indoor records are: 1,500 (3:46.5); mile (4:01.1), winning in the BAA games at Boston Garden; 2-mile (8:33.2) and a 3-mile (13:19.2). The outdoor records are: mile (4:04.1), 2-mile (8:53), 3-mile (13.44.6), 6 mile (28:56) and 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:00.02).
