By US born he meant to say not-African.

Nah I think they are just trying to develop a data base of times for people that might run for POTUS.

Marty did almost no long (800m and longer) intervals. That he could run 13:15 without regularly doing stuff like 6 x 1000 at 5k pace is amazing to me.
If not for his injuries (esp. '72, '76), what could he have done? Pretty good career as it was.

Probably silver in 76 in the 5000.
