I saw him finish and he looked VERY African to me.

Coach aka 'ghost'
I am pretty sure he knows what he looks like, that's why the post. I think he is asking if he changed citizenship?
No, Boaz is Kenyan.
Mexico has the money to sponsor athletes from other countries?
Isn't Mexico the 3rd country that Boaz has run for in the past 3 years. He ran for Kenya right out of college, got money for being the first Michigander at the Crim, and now wins money for being a Mexican. He is truly a man without a home.
How long has Solomon Kandie been a US citizen? He could give Fam and our other steeplers a run for there money.
BUMP
yes, that's a typo. boaz is in the process of becoming an american citizen.
and i'm fairly certain solomon isn't an american citizen - he just trains out of albuquerque now.
