I remember he was a really good 1500 meter guy around the time Manzano was in college. Is he still around competing?

Unfortunately not. Lack of sponsorship has caused a lot of talented Kenyans to quit the sport after college. While Lomong and Manzano went on to turn pros, Ronoh could not make it that far. It is sad such a talent would be wasted.
I live in the same city as Rono. He is not running at present other than a little recreationally... I am trying to get him back to serious training but it's been difficult without a sponsor... a great talent for sure but you have to survive.
