#4	1trkfan August 12 at 10:08pm nice interview. flotrack does a great job! Kyle is a sleeping giant. he is one to watch the next 3-years. If this is his frosh year as a professional runner who knows how good this kid can be for London 2012. with his kick he should try the 5000M. but steeple seems to be working fine. Go USA at Worlds! reply
#3	Shawn Simon August 7 at 10:06pm Gotta love those Sun Devils in the steeple!!!What do you mean summers suck here. It's only above 110 half the summer. I'd rather run in heat then cold any day. Ehat are the chances of you and Aaron working with J Ras at Illinois? Awesome job keep up the good work. reply
#2	MikeyB August 7 at 3:20pm Euro equals foreigners.....I rather see interviews of Chad Ware types! reply
#1	Alcornfan August 7 at 2:55pm great interview. this guy is really humble and its obvious he has a ton of room for improvement. excited to see his future in steepling and for him to get in a good training group and keep improving!!! reply
