    Earlier in the week we had the news that FL NE Runner-up Abbey Leonardi was going to Oregon.

    We received the following email from Footlocker South Runner-up Ahmed Bile, who also is the son of 1987 World Champion at 1500m Abdi Bile. He said we could share it with the LRC community.

    "Hey, I noticed you put Leonardi's commitment to Oregon up and so I was writing just to let you know that I have officially committed to Georgetown, in case you were looking for other seniors that may have committed already. Oh and the websites awesome, it's on the homepage of my iPhone!"

    We're glad to know the sons of World Chmapions come to LRC for news. Good luck at Georgetown.

    Why would any male distance or m.d. runner go to Gtown these days? The rate of failure for former HS studs in the Henner era has to be >85%.

    Bile would be best at explaining his rationale, but I can think of plenty of reasons. It is close to his home, Annandale; it is a great school in a great location with great academics and Ahmed is a smart kid in addition to being a great runner; and he will run well anywhere. Congrats Ahmed on a fine choice and best wishes this year at Foot Locker!
