The Boston Athletic Association announced that Sam Chelanga, John Korir, and Caroline Rotich will headline the elite athlete fields at this weekend's B.A.A. Half-Marathon, to be run through Boston's Jamaica Plain and Dorchester neighborhoods on Sunday. The 26-year-old Chelanga, the NCAA record holder for 10,000m with a 27:08.39 personal best, will be making his debut at the half-marathon distance.

A 14-time all-American while at Liberty University, Chelanga will be returning to Boston, the same city in which he made his professional racing debut at the B.A.A. 10-K last June. Last month, the native of Nairobi finished second at the CVS Caremark Downtown 5-K in 13:45.9.

Not to nit-pick, but isn't it time to move Sam related threads to the "Old Folks Home?"

We had this discussion awhile back and it seemed the consensus was that we would keep in them in sport forums for a year after graduation before moving them to Non-LU Sports or Old Folks Home.
