Who is Sam Chelanga? : Speakers & Interviews

haha seems like and awsome dude

Sam is a great guy. He is training with some of the top runners in the country.

he starts running to get a scholarship just because he feels like running for college

he is not going to win the ncaa's. I am, just watch! A freshman from school in Texas

HiLARIOUS!!! funniest flocast ever.

Sam will win ncaa XC in the fall making it back to back NCAA titles for the Liberty Flames

How does anyone go from avoiding running by playing ping pong to training with Paul Tergat.. to a 13:46 5k within 4 years?

I know nothing about track but just happened across this site/interview after I saw Sam win the Stanford race. Wow!

Sam is a great fit to the LU program! Loved the interview!

Did he say that he was 19 or 20 in 2004?? Hmmmmm....Great interview

good luck man

Seems like a great guy haha. Good luck to him.

Nice guy. I hope he is really successful.

I don't think he'll do that great at Stanford but should be a stud next year at cross.He was most likely the only guy that beat McDougal last year(practice but still)

sam, you're awesome!

Sam is an amazing person! He is going far.. just watch!

Watch this guy in xc next season!!

awesome interview

hahaha...not a B plus, a B plain

not a B , a B plain

this guy is great

sam is going to break out the WHIP on the rest of the field! haha

Sam Chelenga is the man! The kid is absolutely hilarious! I hope he does well this weekend at Stanford!

saw both his 5ks this year. by himself totally. he will run a huge time at stanford.

the peace sign at the end is hilarious

I love this interview, it is so funny.."I don't even know how to play ping-pong". The end was good.

ummm ryan hall is by far the best US marathoner there is and will ever be

i like his personality he reminds me of abdi

That was hilarious! Especially right at the end when he realizes what he said!

I know Sam a little and Josh a good amount. Josh told me during XC of 2007 that he might not even be the best runner on the Liberty Team (Sam). Think about that.

He had some great mentors in his corner.They advised him to go to school instead of turning pro.He's still young and has plenty of time to make the money.Run unattached until Farleigh Dickinson releases him and then he can get on with his life at liberty.By the way my son is a freshman there too.

Josh Mcdougal is the man!
I predict that in the future he will become the best US marathoner in history.

Great interview. Sam has a great sense of humor.
