Love this guy
Ha ha. Yes, I really didn't know any of these guys, and had just checked in this morning to see if Valby could pull off a front-running victory over Tuohy and the two Alabama runners. Then I remembered there was a men's race afterward. When Carrie Tollefson (who is a a gift to the American running scene) started gushing about a "brilliant" and "charming" runner and philosophy major, I began rooting for him. In the post-race interview, I was worried that his pre-race comment that the "the smartest runner" would win might come back to bite him, but he nailed it.
