I know the answer to my question.
Do you?
It was Dathan Ritzenhein in 2006. He was 11th in NYC in 2004 in 2:14:01 at the age of 23.
Before that, I think it was Alberto Salazar in 1980. He won NYC in 1980 in 2:09:41 at age 22.
Has anyone other US NCAA xc champ debuted before the age of 25?
We will be interviewing Hicks shortly to see what his goals are. But what are you goals/expectations as fans?
PS. I don't want people pointing out that while an American Hicks isn't technically representing the US yet. Yes we know that he's transferring his allegiance from GBR to the UK but he's been a US citizen since birth (both parents are American).
