I don't think my results are off.. they might be
1-Girma -Ethiopia
2-Farrel -UK
3-Shane Moskowitz-US
4-Shadrack Kipchirchir -Kenya
5-Joseph Manilafasha -Tanzania
6Kirubel Erassa -Ethipoia
7Fabian Clarkson -Germany
Girma and Manilafasha are American. You missed that because you're a xenophobic racist.
It looks like he listed them by birthplace

I'd like to see a list without Americans. Some if these teams clearly exclude runners from their teams based on nationality.

It would not be racism that someone would be accusing you of, although that is usually lost on the boobs on here, it would be xenophobia.
Right. There is no connection between the two.

By that definition Frank Shorter is a foreigner. You are an idiot.
TrackshackA, your posts are just sad now. Girls and Manilafasha came to this country as kids, escaping WAR and ethnic genocide and are American citizens. I think k Eras a has the same story, too, but may not yet be a citizen - he did attend US high schools. They went to school here and came up through our HS system. They got here through no misdeeds of their own and not through foreign recruiting. We have a celebrated marathon Olympic medalist and NYC champ who hails from exactly the same kind d of background - Meb Keflezighi.
America's greatness was created by people escaping bad situations to come here and make a better life for themselves and their kids. These are those kids right here who you call "not American.". Shame on you.
As has been pointed out, Girma and Joseph are American. You can try to hide behind the guise of birthplace, but there is no way in h*ll you looked up the birthplace of all 200+ runners. Thereby, your results are indeed flawed.
Stupid autocorrect.
Girls = Girma

how am i an idiot your either foreign or your not.. its black and white..
im not going off of stories of foreigners... or if they ran in high school or not.. yes there is a difference in recruiting foreigners strait to college or them moving at a young age. but that is not what i was showing in the results.. again the results are without foreigners. and i will repeat my self one last time this is very black and white.. so before one of you comment again please read the definition.. im tired of having to clear this up when it is right in front of youfor·eign·er/ˈfôrinər/Noun: A person born in or coming from a country other than one's own.

I LOVE YOU trackshackA
The fact that you so adamantly researched Ok State's birthplaces (instead of whether or not they are American) and missed the 4 foreigners on Villanova's team shows that it really is black and white to you.
In your original post you even said that you wanted to highlight the AMERICANS. You can keep posting the definition for foreigner, but you can't retract your original post where you clearly state that your intent was to highlight the performances of Americans.
So you think Frank Shorter is a foreigner?
You also pulled the stupid google definition for foreigner. Merriam-Webster defines it as "a person belonging to or owing allegiance to a foreign country" Not so black and white you moron.

I suspected this as well. He pulled the obvious Europeans and then pulled anyone who wasn't white.
