Chez was probably on student visas the whole time he was in school and college. None of those years count. He needs to be on green card status for five years before he can apply for citizenship. Then wait for application to be processed. Takes a while.
You should only count as American runner if born and lived here till adult age. That way this toxic culture will make you slower no matter what genetics you have
So if a runner was born in a foreign country because his or her parent was in the foreign service, and spent most or his her years living outside the US because of the parent's postings, you wouldn't consider the person an "American runner"?
By the way, Frank Shorter was born in Germany.
