Looks like the success of the past year is paying dividends for the future!!

Haha and why do I think the Portland snow would have made this kid just run faster....

Nice. Our dominance will continue with Dunbar and our Kenyan sensation.

This is so awesome!!! I'm really happy for Coach Conner... it seems like with Kipchumba and landing a guy like Dunbar, UP might have a very exciting stretch coming up over the next few years. UPXC... amazing.

Pretty cool that his mom is an All-American former alum, his dad ran here, and his high school coach is an alum and former teammates with Conner. Seems like it was meant to be from the start!

Here's another article... it looks weird at the top, but just scroll down. A very nice write-up:

Thanks, Stonehouse. He sounds pretty phenomenal... The long distance times are great. We'll honestly probably have someone with a better time in the 800 if he runs for the track team, but, that's like complaining vainly about a scratch on the Mercedes...

Nice kick at the end of that race!
