Never heard of the guy.
He doesn't appear on their roster.
Google turns up nothing except for his Arkansas track results.
He's listed as a sophomore eligibility, but nothing notes where he spent his freshman year.
Yet he's run:
1:48.70 open
A leg on the 9:30 DMR
2:22.42 1k in early January
4:08.71 winning the mile at the Arkansas-Texas dual meet.
And there's nothing else on the guy - like he appeared in mid-air on January 1st, and started running NCAA qualifying times.
What do you care?
Dey's is actually a pretty interesting story. He began running last spring after a stellar season with the club baseball team. He didn't run in high school and virtually competed in no sports until club baseball. One day he was running the bases and an Arkansas XC guy noticed how easy he looked running around the field. He asked him about running and the two went for a run the next day. Dey stayed with him for 8 miles at about 630 pace after he was told to stop after 3 or 4. He's been training pretty hard since, hes a talent.
type in dey and Rend Lake to google.
PrepGold,
When Dey was a student at Thornton HS, in Thornton, Colorado, he went by Dey Tuach. When he started running for them in his junior year he went to state in cross country and track. At the State Meet Charles White was expected to win the 1600 and 3200. At the gun Dey went out with White in a 60 point first 400, 2:02 800 and 3:05 1200. At 1300 White fell to the in-field, Dey was 9 seconds clear of the field. At 1400 he began to rig-out and was passed by 6 runners in the last 100. The next year he won the State 800 in 1:52 something. Being from one of the African countries (I think it was Sudan) his schooling was not strong enough to get into a Div 1 school so he went to Rend. Now he is a junior at Arkansas.
Pardon any miss facts, but that was what I recall.

its dey tuach from rend lake college he transferred to arkansas after graduating there
Originally "Dey Tuach", which was the name he got when he came to America from Sudan as one of the Lost Boys, he went by Dey Chuol Dey but for some reason he couldn't be called Dey Dey, so they gave him a last name from his dad or something, being Dey Tuach. But Chuol Dey I think is his official name and what he wants to be called because that was his name in Africa. The d**n American immigrant folks just changed it when he came, apparently.
Except he wants to be called Dey Dey.
