I just want to thank the great Henry Rono for posting here and wish him well in his quest for the 50-54 masters mile record! |

Sorry if this question is moronic, either way, but do we know this is really Henry Rono? Seriously? |

---------------------------------------------------------- I have read his other posts and I feel confident that it is indeed Henry Rono posting here. I would be truly disappointed if it is not. He was a hero of mine as a young runner. Tinman |

My favorite runner of all-time, I was very fortunate to be in high school just eight miles away while Henry was at WSU. I saw many races and to watch him run was to watch something rare. A true legend. I watched the NCAA X-C championships in Spokane, when he blew everyone away. I saw him run in Eugene, winning the NCAA steeple title ... but he could've won the 5K and 10K, too, had he wanted to. He ran 13:22 in a 5K heat before opting out. My friends and I spotted him at a gas station once, we started pointing and saying, "There he is!!" Henry saw us gawking teenagers, just waved and flashed a great smile. I'll never forget it. A true legend! |

Henry, I was just a skinny Kansas high school kid in the late '70's and early 80's, and you were a huge inspiration to me. I had the Nike poster of you coming around a turn with your four world recod times down in the corner hanging in my room. I was in awe then, and am not embarrased to say I still am today. I wish you the very best luck in your quest. You, sir, were one of a kind. |

I went to Henry's website and read his stories. The one about his best race - at Eugene,OR - was excellent. Just think, he ran intervals 5 days in a row and hill loops the day before the race during the week of the 10,000m in which he dueled Al Salazar to a 27:30 finish! Tinman |

what ever happened to your WSU teammates, Josh Kimeto and Samson Kimowamba? they were really good, too. And the Kenyan great who preceded you at WSU, John Ngeno. |

I can assure you all -- perhaps you know me from BRRC Boston -- this IS Henry Rono. I have exchanged e-mails with my old friend and he remembers things only he could about living in Boston in the 80's and working at the Bill Rodgers store. Welcome back, Henry! |

Henry it is really great to see you back into running. I had a chance to see you compete in Edmonton in 1978. I also met you at Bloomsday in the mid 1980's. I was hanging out with BJ (Garry Bjorklund) after the race. It was quite a thrill to have met you. Good luck and all the best . Cheers from Canada |
