I was looking at the top lists for the 10k and I saw his name jump out to me because of his age. Are there any Americans in history who could do the same?
27:41 is not particularly a big deal for an Ethiopian teen. Dillu whose age might be off (listed at 17) ran 27:11. Granted he was a non-factor in Budapest.
EDIT: and the Kenyan 1-2 at World Junior XC are far more impressive with Reynold Cheruiyot running 3:30 and 13:04, while Kipkirui has an 8:11 2 mile

I doubt if bereket is 18yrs old. If you look keenly at him at the finishing line of Bathurst 8km junior race world cross country championships this year, you'll understand why I'm saying this....
