Cheserek Wins!!!!!!!!!!

Edward Cheserek dominated his first NCAA Championship race and the overwhelming favorite Kennedy Kithuka. To overcome a 10 second lead, blow by Kithuka, and then win by 19 seconds speaks volumes of Edward's performance. How good was it?

I was actually cheering for Edward, Futsum, and Jim Rosa and glad to see all three finish in the top 5. CONGRATS!

Just how good is Edward? Can he do the same indoors and outdoors? How many NCAA titles will this young man win in his collegiate career?

uhhh ever heard of Lawi Lalang?

Cheserek did great, but it was more of Kithuka not showing up than Cheserek dominating him. Same thing happened last year with Lawi vs Kithuka.

Uhm, no.

Where did this stupid sports comment originate, and what doe sit mean.

Kithuka was there. He took the field out hard. He had a lead. He was pulling away. And then the Big Cheese reeled him in, passed him with dominant authority and it was game over.

It's XC, Kithuka got spanked. It happens.

Has a freshman ever won the Div XC Championship before this year?

Quite a few times. Lawi LaLang and Bob Kennedy come to mind immediately.

Now that he's eclipsed Pre's achievements in XC, can Pre finally rest in peace?

You're kidding?

can't wait to watch the video! Amazing runner who knows how to race, he stayed cool and clam, great smooth effortless form, and showed tremendous GUTS! what a runner! wow...

Let's not forget that little fact.

Big upset, clutch run down.

NEWSFLASH: Africans are Fast.

Thank you. I'm surprised about Bob Kennedy, that must have been around 1990 and there were quite a few Africans running here in those years. I forgot about Lawi, but that makes sense--he was a great one too.

Bob Kennedy was that good. Had he run his first 12:58 two years earlier, it would have been a world record.

Especially when they juice.

A Duck - some people are 60-year-ish-old guys and act very immature like 13. Some people are complete douchebags. Some people have such miserable lives they try to relive their college lives from 40 years ago. You have won the trifecta! YOu are all three. A douchebag trying to relive college years and a big time jerk to boot! Congrats you loser!

I get the whole "A Duck is an obnoxious loser" thing, but hes the one who is right here. Ches had a great race and A Duck isnt wrong to defend against the implication that he somehow didn't fully "earn" it
