All I can tell you is that I've attempted to reach Wesley Korir through his coach at the University of Louisville. These things take time.

Carey Pinkowski and his staff have to adhere to those rules, but the idea of an "accommodation" certainly has merit.

Our third-place runner finished fourth because of the Chip, even though he held off the fourth-place runner physically. Check out:
