I'm surprised Lagat didn't make the top 200. Surprised Kennedy IS on the list.

Why? Kenyan last names largely change with every generation and reflect he circumstances of where or when the child was born.

Kennedy would mean "child was born while father was on run with Bob Kennedy"

It will probably spike somewhat on the running scene in the next few years as all of those children born while Kennedy was elite reach Youth Worlds age. ie 22-25.
