Does he still run now? Does he enter in random road races?

Why didn't he run after college? A 9:00 and 14:27 as a sophomore, a very fast time on Mt. Sac.. and he ends up going to a community college for 2 years. Didn't he have hopes of transferring to Cal so didn't run at the community college? Why didn't he end up transferring to another college, why did he just stop after community college (even if he wasn't going to run in another college, he could have still gotten his Bachelor's)?

And he could have gotten into a school like Cal or other schools, based on his times. He had injury trouble, but he still went sub 9 his senior year. Why did he end up going to a community college then? I wouldn't think his grades would have been THAT bad..

He is or was a devout member of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and he isn't even korean.

... Running doesn't mean that much to him, and he has other things in life that are important.

I know it's hard for some letsrunners to realize running isn't everyone's life especially when they are able to run the times that 90% of the people on here lie about as their own.

Later.

re: just maybe...

You are an idiot.

I believe he was running close to 100 miles per week his senior year. Yes, he really doesn't care about running.

He still regularly goes to his team's meets to cheer them on, yes he really doesn't care about running.

He entered some road races as well where I hear he went sub 15 but I was wondering if he'd entered some recently or what his exact times were.

He mentioned many times that he loved running and notice he still lists it as a hobby. He was a legend in the NCS and liked the treatment.

He looks part Korean.

Where are your ancestors from?

My dad's lineage is Portuguese and Irish; my mom is 100% Japanese.

re: jam on it

Why is it important to know where my ancestors are from? I'm just guessing he's part Korean because of the way he looks and mostly because his first name is Yong-Sung. What makes you say he's really not at least part ethnically Korean? My dad's side are English, Scottish and Welsh. My mom's are French, Italian and Chinese.

re: Pete S.

Wow, that myspace sure makes me want to pick up a bat and follow Jesus Moon or whatever the fcuk his Allah's name is. I guess he dumped his church-chosen bride since he lists himself as single. He has a buncha skank friends posting messages on there, too. Real inspiring stuff.

Where'd Geb and Keneisa go to college or Hicham, Saif, or Komen?
