Jr. Race In Edinburgh - (America?)/OSU Guy Dominates!!! 1/7/2012 6:27PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
Junior men’s 6km
1 Kirubel Erassa (USA) 19:54
2 Kieron Clements (GBR) 19:55
3 Mark Shaw (GBR) 19:58
4 Eddie Owens (USA) 20:08
5 Andrew Gardner (USA) 20:10
6 Sean Tobin (IRL) 20:15
7 Michael Bradjic (USA) 20:19
8 Thomas Curtin (USA) 20:21

I googled Erassa and it looks lik he went to school in GA for HS. Anyone know if he's American?

According to his OSU bio (
http://www.okstate.com/sports/m-track/mtt/erassa_kirubel00.html
), Erassa ran 14:19 in HS. Has scored in Big 12 in mile, was top 20 at Big 12s in xc this year.

Who are the credentials of the other Americans in the race?

Where do they go to school?

Any brits out there? Who are your guys?

Considering Erassa ran for the US, I'd assume he's an American citizen although I know Lukas V did compete for the US in triathlon and he's not an American.

As for bios, it looks like USATF has bios of everyone in all the races.

You are thinking of Andrew Gardiner. This is a different guy (8th Footlocker 2008)

Cuffe 2nd, Seidel 3rd, Knight 5th... very impressive performance for the US juniors. Nathan Weitz finished up pretty close to the front, as well as Gardner, so WA did well today!

4th Eddie Owens attended Packer Collegiate in Brooklyn and was partly coached by my teammate, I believe.
