-- Edward Taragon SR Wayland Baptist DNF
Looks like he's in shape...
Holy moly!!!!
Wow. Was this solo from the gun or where there rabitts?
Even if they put someone through 3000 at 8:05 (which I doubt) that is still incredible.
was anybody at this race? i feel like this needs to be talked about more
I thought Kennedy would run much faster.
He led every step of the way. 64 at the 400, then started picking it up: 4:14 1600, 7:59 3km. He looked like he was starting to hurt a little the last 1km, but was smiling and waving at the finish.
EPO
Looks like Edward Taragon, who is Kithuka's former teammate at Wayland and capable of at least 13:40 Dnfed. Could he have been pacing his friend?

That's David Kamaniesque running son!
He had to have lapped the field, lapped all but two of the others twice and almost lapped the guy in 9th three times.
No pacers. Tarragon dropped out because he felt weak. No epo just hard training and the mental fortitude of a god. Fear Kithuka!
video?
He looks ancient. probably doped up as well
+1. Probably got some of that Rupp juice.

Yeah, it is slow for a Kenyan
slow for a kenyan, but he won by 1 minute! this is the guy who won ncaa xc quite soundly against stephen sambu, a 13:13 5k runner, and lawi lalang, who ran 13:08 last year. kithuka might be the first ncaa runner under 13, if lalang doesn't beat him to it.
Epo? I hope you're joking. A poor Kenyan college student doesn't have the knowledge or the means. Don't be silly.
