null

Part 1 or 2: Lawi Lalang, brother of 800 specialist Boaz Lalang came to the United States less than a year ago in December. Having only run a couple time trials in his hometown of Eldoret, Kenya, Lawi had PRs of around 3:55 for 1500, 8:15 for 3k and had only run one junior cross country race. Lawi talks to Flotrack about how he got started in running and what it was like to travel to the United States to attend University of Arizona. Lawi will look to win his first XC conference title this weekend at the Pac-12 XC Championships. Stay tune for part two of this interview tomorrow.
