And he also lives now in my hometown of Dallas Tx.

Nice. I beat him in a race within the last year which I figured meant he was done so it's good to see him getting back in shape.
I never even saw him in the early to mid stages (around 20k) so he must have come from behind and picked off a lot of guys. It's good for a big race like this to not have Meb, Ritz, etc... allowing a fellow compatriot for a break through race. Must be a huge confidence boost for him as well. Great race and I must tip my hat to him on the day
Sadly he was introduced at the post-race press conference as being from Dallas Tx. I made sure everyone knew he was Mass native and now the Globe and Herald all over him.
Her is a post-race interview I did with him:
I guess you need to sign up with whatever your mailing address is or something, but BAA and the announcers should have known he was from the 413.

First American?
Yikes.

Please do not ever characterize Rojo as a "Cornell person." He coached there for some years. That's it. Rojo is actually a "Princeton person."
From my experience and personal acquaintance very very few Cornellians "skate through life using their parents' money." (And I actually doubt that a whole lot of Princeton folks do either.) The LinkedIn bio that someone linked to earlier is much more typical of a Cornell guy.
I lived/trained with Zach at Cornell, Hansons, and in Boulder. Dude is a sharp guy with a masters in chemical engineering from Cornell. I think he got mid 1500s on his SAT (when it was out of 1600).
I'm pretty sure he's worked to earn his way on his own and is for sure not a spoiled trust funder (like many in Boulder for example).

Yes, remember Cornell is barely an Ivy (land grant? LOL). Not a lot of spoiled kids there because it simply doesn't have the rep.
Was it his money or his parents money that paid his legal fees when he pled guilty to domestic violence?
I can respect his race results, but I'll never respect this "mass. native" schmuck.

Wouldn't it be easy as hell to get a high paying job with a Ivy degree? Why would he need to?
Hine is the first MA native to finish in the top 10 in the men's race in 30 years.
Why is he quote of the day? What a boring lackluster paragraph of nothingness.
This is actually incredibly sad....
Too bad that rojo ain't a formell idiot.

Not really. Nearly every healthy US runner with 2hr20min talent ran at the Trials in February.

rojo wore a tucks to the formell
This is usually the point where rojo becomes all defensive and butthurt. He'll claim that he meant to type "former", and pawn off his mental midgetry on typos. Three typos in a six letter word.

Rojo earns his cake the old fashioned way too; from mommy and daddy. It is just a shame that he decided in the second grade that he would rather doo boo ya his way through life than study for that spelling test.
