I saw people talking about how Macharia Yuot was running in the 8K championships and then I didn't see his name in the results after the race. Anyone know if he decided not to run or what the story is?
And anyone who posts saying DI athletes are the only ones who matter. I don't care I enjoy running on all levels and Macharia is a fun kid to watch.
Yeah he's a great athlete. I would've loved to see how he'd stack up against the DI guys. Pity they dont put the DIII champion in the DI race anymore.
apparently he decided not to run after it was postponed to sunday. word is he did a workout instead. that's from a guy who talked to him on saturday.

He wouldn't have done so well after running a marathon the day before. ;-)

I wouldn't put it past him to have forgone the race and done a workout because of the courses conditions. However, word I got from a guy who talked to him Saturday was that he was not doing the USA 8K Champs, but the NYRR 8000. So, the race getting postponed didn''t mean anything for why he decided to not race
There was in fact, a former DIII athlete in the field. Nick End of Carnegie Mellon and Sports Illustrated fame ran.
