Before his breakout 10k at Stanford this year what had Michael Aish done that was noteworthy?
As far as I can gather he lives in the states (Gunnison, CO?) and went to Uni there as well?
Any big victories, championships, national teams?
I saw that he ran in the elite race at the Bolder Boulder this year and that piqued my interest.
2004 olympic team for new zealand i believe, very good 10k runner, i don't know a lot about him but i know hes been around for a while
2000 and 2004 olympian for NZ
he has been running fast for years (28:08 in 2000) with a few NCAA II titles and maybe even a couple of champs records.
hasn't gone too well at the big meets, but still a tough competitor
12 time ncaa d 2 champ from Western State
common wealth games 10k 8th place (2002)
also represented New Zealand at Indoor and outdoor worlds, world cross and Olympics (2000,2004)
In december ran 2:13:42 at the Fujuka marathon
his 10k pr was 27:53 before his 27:46 at Stanford, his current 5k pr is 13:22 from college.
what else do you want to know?

I think you guys have about covered it so far. He seemed to get a lot of "great guy/came from nothing" press on the boards here after the Stanford 10k. Just wondering what his history has been.
Thanks for all the info.
