    correct, simply because of hardships in their home countries that you cannot imagine. Not because they are trying to cheat or gain an advantage.

    Perhaps, but not necessarily.

    Not every country has the idea that every kid has to go to College.

    In Australia, back in my day, (70s) only about 5% went to university. It was all for academics. If you didn't expect to be a dr or lawyer, or a degreed profession, there really was no need. Degrees were not needed. Sports were club only.

    College here is a cottage industry.

    Correct in some ways, but there are a few here seeking asylum from oppressive situations. Meb Keflezghi comes to mind, along with Kelati and others....

    re: whatgives

    She went to primary school a year later than her peers. Once she graduated from higher school she took half a gap year, since the school terms only start in August here opposed to January in South Africa. Only a month after coming to the USA she was hit by a truck and had to take a year off running (thus she redshirted her whole first year at Boise State). She transferred to Coastal Carolina in 2016 August and started her first cross country season as a freshman. Thus, although she is a freshman running wise, she just completed her academic sophomore year.

    re: Gross

    Since she is redshirt again this year does mean in 2018 she will be a 23 year old sophomore?

    How can this be allowed?
