Nice Profile on NAU's Peter Lomong

Talks about his upbringing, the pressure of being Lopez Lomong's brother and how coach Michael Smith really helped changed his expectations. Plus also how Peter is more a long distance runner (maybe because he was herding cows at a 7 year old)

"“I escaped death, because that’s something that was commonly happening all the time. We have a Civil War. You are in a Civil War. You witness kids getting their throat cut off just because they don't want them to scream. So I think for me, I escaped death, I would say -- that's my story."

“I feel like I am one of those people that sets expectations for himself. If it wasn't for Smith, I would have finished 30th or 40th. But he made me believe in myself in a way that I could finish top 10 or I could win. He just gave me so much power, in a way to look more to myself, to ignore the critics -- none of that is real.”
