The sooner everyone realizes that we live in a global society, the better. We are all competing whether you want to or not. Get off the couch, isolationism does not work.

just watched interview with Edward after the race. There is no way he is in high school. This man talks like he freaking 23 and been running for a while. Listen to his voice and look at his face. He looks old!!! I know boys American born that look African born and they don't even look as old as Edward. Futsum looks older than the other boys too but he seems like he might be 19 or 20. Edward is clearly a cheat and liar. They should somehow test how old these boys are otherwise the whole point of this race is ruined.
you sound so ignorant right now! Stop hating on these africans. Futusm is 18 and Cheserek is probably 17 people hold back there kids all the time to get better for football. These two guys are only a year older than some kids. #stophatingonafricans

Why are you complaining? Stop making excuses. The more you run the faster you are, with a few exceptions. Americans just need to rethink their training methods.

"Just like the NCAA . overage foreoigners winning again"

You can be overage in the NCAA. It's eligibility based not age. You can compete in the NCAA as long as you have amateur status

"Whats the problem? Let me they cant win any races in there home country so to come America and dominate and lie about there age"

I'm sure this is their motivation for coming to the US

The race doesn't always go the fasest or the strongest, but eventually it goes to the one that believes they can. TRAIN COMMIT SUCCEED

@holy crap, that year was 1999 when the course wasn't at Balboa Park, but in FL (which was pretty much just a glorified track meet)

Desperate! 5 months ago

These complaints all seem shi#t stirring and desperate at best. If you're white and born and raised in the States then you just have to accept the fact that it's no longer and hasn't been for some time now, a mono-cultural sport where Jim Ryun types win all the big races. Sure, it might be nice to see local atheletes and blood relatives athetically succeed but the system we have in place made it possible for your ancestors to come here as well to this soil and excell, and hopefully it will continue to do so for long, long time to come! You can either hide behind the cynicism and start switching sports i.e - Triathelon or go with the situation and train even harder, work more effectively and stop being so soft! These guys aren't "gods", They're beatable like anyone else!

"REAL WINNER" you're an idiot...those are the rules...but really?? you think a couple of steps inside the line really matter?? i gaurantee that if they did disqualify them both and they gave it to nathan...nathan wouldn't feel like he won that race. BECAUSE HE DIDN"T!

Has a South team EVER won the Nationals?

Anonymous Coward 5 months ago

When it comes to winning, there can only be one. If they want to be the best they must find a way to get there. World champion or USA Champion? Which one would you want to be?

Bummer 5 months ago

Wow. A couple of overage Africans winning the US HS championships.

This is sooo great for the sport in the US.

Just like the NCAA . overage foreoigners winning again.

Cutting inside the cones is grounds for DQ. Nathan Weitz wins.
