This is a good story and a talented young man, I am just hoping his parents have obtained US citizenship so he is not shipped off by ICE or at the very least left hanging... for many years like Edward C.
Remind me - who was president for most of Cheserek’s high school/ college career?

Cheserek was on a student visa while at Oregon. After he graduated in 2017, he tried to get a green card, which is an important first step to becoming a US citizen through the naturalization process. Unfortunately for him, green cards became harder to get because of the policies enacted by Donald J Trump.

So his adoptive parents are not US citizens? They adopted him and then migrated to the US? What is the full story?
What does a high school sophomore running the 5k have do to with Goose?
Because the kid got 6th behind Van Meerten and is another East African diaspora runner now training at altitude early in high school. This is unique.
Runners from an East African background in hs have rarely had this level of aerobic development before. There have been great miler types in the past but they couldn’t get to this level because of the focus on anaerobic training. And rarely do they ever train at altitude before college. This is a big shift.
This is now an East African American runner appreciation thread.
But they have nothing to do with Goose, who will be retired whenever these guys are racing senior races.
