Solomon Haile 1st : Speakers & Interviews

All of you who say saolomon are too old are haters. Solomon is the nicest kid ive ver met and i got to spend a lot of time with him. Hes no different from any other high shcool senior. So stop hating on him because he was faster than all of you.

Or maybe the coaches don't want to embarass themselves when the NCAA determines the guy is a 21 year old freshman, and then everyone knows he cheated in high school. Or maybe it's something else...(SAT scores a problem, hmmm).

He forgot to add, "I so happy that no one has found out I'm 20 years old."

dude all I know is he could beat anytime and anyday.

i guess he doesnt want to embarass any college coaches

i guess im just not that impressed with the kid.....after last years kids its hard to appreciate the new crop of talent.

haha
I thought it was crazy that he did not have any schools at all. I mean if you are one of the top recruits you would have a couple in mind..... maybe that's just me.

WOW Mark, get off his back. He told you he doesn't know where he wants to go, that doesn't mean ask him another five times

Disregarding the age issue and his being from ethiopia he still won a weak year of footlocker with no real studs. He would have been dominated by last years field. To say he will win ncaa's anytime soon is a joke. The big 4(Derrick, Fernandez, Puskedra, and Lowe) will be what people are talking about in the ncaa over the next 4 years.

why should i "beleave"(btw it is believe) he is 18? Is it because he says he is?
Or because he raced multiple road races as a 20 year old?

BTW: LEARN HOW TO SPELL, YOU "obveosly" sound "ignant"

He is the champion my friends, and he'll keep on fighting to the end. He is the champion, he is the champion, no time for loosers cause he is the champion...of the world!!

seriously the mother looks 30

obviously this guy is too old. he is old enough to be a senior in college, so im not impressed at all.

He says he has a problem running in the cold, so is looking for warmer climes for college. The only problem with that is it seems xc nationals is always in some place that is cold as hell.

im pretty sure ethiopia is on their own calender so thats where the mix up with his age came into play. this happens all the time with foreign athletes not just in running.

Solomon, you're an inspiration to us all. Congradulations on all your acomplishments. We are so proud of you.

beterefew chaw. enjoy

at least he called it a race in this interview opposed to at manhatten when all he wanted was to win the game

im form ethiopia and this guy doesnt look like he is 18yr, im just saying in ethiopia we look way younger than him and im only 18yr old too.

he is 18 so deal with it and u beter beleave it.
and y all of ya ganging up on this dude all he is tryin to do is kick some ass on the feild witch he obveosly did, so just stop the anger and be happy u get the chance to watch such a great runner.

and watch him be the 2011 ncaa nats champ u beter beleave that too. hahaha

Sounds like Chelanga!

Haile is 1st? According to the results, Trevor Dunbar won the American race. Go USA!!!

According to some, Haile's real name is Solomon Semenguse and he is 21 years old.

If you think he looks old you should see Elias Geydon, he a spohmore and looks like he's 30.

way to go champ! Congradulations to you and to your family. Enjoy the victory. You have a wonderful future ahead of you. Can't wait to see how far you take your running career. Keep working hard and good things will come your way. Go Solomon you're the new king of cross country!

hey bro, hate to rain on your parade but you're shadier than the Illinois Governor.

I've known him for over a year. What an upstanding all-around person! Everyone who gets to know him sees what a humble guy he is and he has a gentle spirit!
Way to go!

is he 21 or 22????

look at you Mark, being a real journalist, prodding for that answer you want, good stuff.

Way to go Solomon, you deserve it. Good luck in college!!

Hey did Haile take you out for a beer after the interview?

this coward will be exposed soon enough...

Amazing. Solomon is such an awesome guy. Can't wait to see what he accomplishes.

nah, solomon's been tested. he's in my county, and ive seen him run many times. he's a beast.

WTF!
