UVA's 7th man at ACC XC just won $2000 as the College Road 10k national champion

I'm surprised no one posted the results.

Here they are according to Race Results Weekly.

Even if Chelimo was on a full scholarship, he could accept the money as there is a lot of stuff that a scholarship didn't cover back then. Scholarships only recently have even been allowed to cover the "full cost of attendance" as explained here:

I feel this is borderline front page news. I am sure a link to a news write up will come soon, but Silas Frantz, who runs for UVA (formerly GTown) just won the Monument Avenue 10k in Richmond and walked away with $2000. The prize money was only for runners who are current taking classes at a US college. NJNYTC's Nicol Traynor won for the women.

Pretty cool that a guy who is likely on some percentage of a scholarship could walk away with a nice little pay day. Would love to see more top-flight collegians run these road and trail champs throughout the year.

Frantz isn't on the UVA team anymore. He got kicked off after he got a part-time job over winter break. UVA Athletics Director must be running a tight ship after he employed someone on a drug suspension, not taking any more chances with compliance.
