Boaz Professional Debut

He will have to defeat the Hanson's Racing Team with

Brinker, Rundell, Gibson, etc. This is going to be

a fast race! (sub 30)

It's kinda sad that we got to the point that some of us call sub30 a fast 10k.

For a realtively little road race in Michigan, it is fairly fast. Hopefully it'll be closer to 29 than 30.

Wouldnt the prize money attract more semi-elite/elite athletes?

How much of a prize purse would attract elite runners?

I'm planning on organizing a mile or a 5k road race with $1000 for first place $750 for second and $500 for third. with this kinda money, would i get some elite runners to show up?

For Boaz's sake home they don't have any bleachers to run into anywhere near the starting line.

What company is he sponsored by?

Sub 30 is still working awfully hard for only $350.

That's true, but it still doesnt make sub 30 fast. As we already know, us distance runners dont make as much money as other athletes and any money is good, even if its only $350 for a sub 30 10k

Boaz will rock Hansons. They are in two different leagues. Give me a break!!

Would this be his "debut" as a professional, just like Haile's "debut"in the marathon distance? Getting paid to rabbit, doesnt that make u a professional, since your being paid?

On a difficult course...Boaz used to prepare

for Peach Tree...He was almost caught at the

end because of cruising through the race...

Boaz 29:39 followed by Kevin Doyle at 29:42

Boaz looked good but so did the Hansons. We have a c rate Kenyan here in town that cleans up on every $200 road race and he finished 15th because the Hansons came in numbers. There was also 2 Kenyans that came from Iowa for a payday and they both got shut out as well. It was awesome.

Iowa has Kenyans???

Since when??

I sure as hell no that Iowa State has a no Kenyan policy!!

Daniel Kinyua was at Iowa State in 2000

Iowa St. is known for being loaded with Kenyans. They once had a solid Kenyan connection. They were NCAA champs a bunch in the early 90s, and always had awesome teams. Now they suck. But I was kidding about the policy.

Boaz should come up to Hamilton High Performance 10k and try to pick up the 500 dollars for the sub 28:30, it should be a breeze for him.

Boaz will have his professional contract with Nike

and make his first appearance at major road race

on Friday at PeachTree
