American Sam Chelanga wins Cherry Blossom 10 Miler

U-S-A!

Interesting and the 1st REAL American finished was Martin Hehir who ran for Coach Fax at Syracuse.

The circle of life is amazing

i'm 100% certain that Chelanga has gone through the REAL process of citizenship and is a REAL American. Hopefully he runs for the USA in RIO 2016

You can't hide how you feel in what you said. Please leave it off the internet or leave this earth.

your ancestors weren't REAL Americans either (unless you are native american)you piece of sh*tChelanga is American and loves it here. Embrace it or keep your computer unplugged.

Chelanga is not some fly by night liberal invite that your president is begging entrance for. He actually knows your language. He wants to learn your customs. He's not going to exhaust your welfare system, live on your handouts for the rest of his days, then cheer when a tragedy befalls your country. The nonsense of not being a "real" American is shameful. Come visit holland, and I'll show you the people of which you speak.

The color of skin means $#!+ when being an American. If you care about being an American that is far more to me than nationality of birth

Not that I'm defending his comment, but why are you talking about his ancestors? His ancestors didn't write that comment. He did.

Also, all he implied was that being a real American means being born here, so unless his parents were immigrants, they were real Americans under his definition. Clearly though, some of his ancestors would not be real Americans under definition. Interestingly, under this definition the first people to arrive in America, the (first generation) "native" Americans also were not real Americans.

Also just wanted to add that I'm happy Sam became a citizen and am happy to see him running well.

Was this a USATF championship race?

Ummm, Chelanga is Kenyan.

48:25. Runs like an American alright.

Winds were insane (20+ mph for a bunch with gusts expected to be much higher than that) and weather was in mid-30s to start the race which could be fine except for the wind. Roughly miles 7-9 were directly into the wind amongst other spots.

Conditions were not good for great times today. It was a race and that is what matters.

Nice to see the pc police on patrol

I would say how I feel about your a*shole comment, but the moderators would delete it for profane language. You know nothing about anything fool.

Yeah, there were sustained winds of 20+ mph, but gusts of up to 40 mph according to measurements at the airport. It was really nasty in some parts, especially the last couple miles. The whole field ran significantly slower than last year as a result.

You are aware that native Americans were not US citizens until well after many of our ancestors were. A little history might help you.

Chelanga will be pacing the 6:30 group by 2020.
