This UTEP frosh ran 1:46.50 recently and just broke the world indoor record for 600 in 1:14.97. Flotrack just posted this link on it and it looks like he destroyed his teammate Jonah Koech, who looked like he had a lot of potential as a frosh last year. This kid just came out of nowhere and guys like Isaiah Harris and Joe White are gonna have to step up their game if they wanna win NCAA's in the 800.

Don't feed him. He's the same little junior high kid that keeps posting this kind of trash. The kid is in serious trouble if those are the best grammatical sentences he can string together.

Sad but true.
What a joke.
Stealing really. Stealing from those of legitimate age running in the NCAA system.
Age cheating up until 20 is perhaps more of an advantage than doping.
World Juniors is a joke. NCAA running is becoming more and more of a sad joke and it needs to stop.
Age test like FIFA does. Oh and yes, FIFA age tests "junior" world championship teams from Africa. Very accurate up to age 19 for males wrist bone density testing is available. Politically correct America will never use this technology though and the shame will continue. And the UTEP's that are out there are sponsoring the theft from legitimate aged NCAA athletes.

maybe you two sob sisters can go in on a box of tissues?
I mean regardless of his age, he did break the world record.
I personally train every day with a former UTEP runner who graduated within the last year. We talked about this Saturday and he confirmed that he personally picked Korir up from the airport, knows him, and he (Korir) is legit, not an age cheat. Understanding UTEP's training from my training partners perspective as a former runner, this should be an early peak and the UTEP runners will not perform to their full potential at NCAAs. These UTEP runners train out of their minds but do not have a proper base phase, so usually they are performing well at the beginning of the season and as freshmen, but get burnt out and do not perform as Seniors or at NCAAs. Some of the workouts I've heard about are an hour of hills up a straight-up mountain kilometer-Long hill or 30x400 @ 65 pace with a 100-meter jog. These guys are insanely talented, but unfortunately most burn out much earlier than they should.
You said it before me. Long season. When someone runs a record this early in the season its time to be concerned with someone peaking early or burning out by NCAAs. Harris just ran 1:46 to have the #2 time on the season behind Korir so watch out.

I'd rather have a wr than an NCAA indoor title.

We have 3 800 runners between the ages of 19-24 who have run between 1:42.93 and 1:43.55, so they will ALMOST certainly ALL be faster in 2020 as they will be physically more mature, Making the 800 team for USA in 2020 will be VERY hard (granted not as hard as making Kenya's team).
Running a world record indoors in a rarely run/non standard event, is not an indicator he will be able to run the sub 1:43 that will likely be necessary to make the USA team.

He is correct based off of my experience with Kenyans.
I had numerous Kenyans on my D1 track team at a mid-sized school. They explained to me that to get a government ID you did not need to provide other IDs, so you could change your age. They had numerous government issued IDs with different ages. Their reason was so they could buy alcohol at a younger age, but they easily could have used it to age-cheat as well.
When asked their birthday, some would even change(forget) the dates sometimes confusing one ID with another. I wasn't sure if they truly knew when they were born. Seriously.
Also, none of these Kenyans returned to Kenya after graduation, all joined the US military and are now US citizens. But none after fast enough to race in Tokyo. I haven't heard of any Kenyans in the NCAA system who return to Kenya after coming to the USA.
Aren't Betsy Saina and Sally Kipyego two recent examples? At the very least, after NCAA, they dropped their times markedly and ran for Kenya.
Once again another doping Kenyan achieves a record he does not deserve... the reason Wetmore is such a freakin g is because he doesn't let those cheating Africans on his teams

Who cares what his age is. He's in the NCAA system (which doesn't have an age limit, only a clock rule) and he broke the WR. If he's the real deal he will be great. If not then oh well.

Yes, but should taxpayers be providing scholarships to foreign athletes? What do you imagine the result would be if this were a ballot question?
And spare me the "booster" nonsense, most athletic depts are not making money and they sure as sheet aint making money by tapping track boosters, except in rare circumstances.
Stop this crap. Just because this Kenyan is more talented than you or anyone else in your midwestern hometown, don't assume he is cheating. I train with a Kenyan who I know for sure is not doping or never did, he can still pull faster times than in college at UTEP. UTEP runners train harder than almost anyone else in the NCAA and running is literally their life. Not some fun game in HS and College. They live and breathe track. And Americans wonder why Kenyans are so dominant. Because they give up everything for their dream to represent the country they love.

The exact same was true in my experience 25 years ago. The two Kenyans on our team did nothing but study and run. College was not a game for them.
