The Tribune-Star

TERRE HAUTE — The NCAA championships are more than a month away at LaVern Gibson Championship Course and a favorite for the men’s individual title emerged Saturday in Terre Haute in the 8,000-meter white race.

Kenyan Sam Chelanga of Liberty University one-upped training partner and former teammate Josh McDougal’s 8K record by five seconds with a time of 22 minutes, 51.3 seconds. McDougal went on to win the 2007 NCAA title after his Pre-Nationals showing one year ago.

Chelanga was on another level compared to his competition Saturday.
And for those of us who really like the chances of the National Championship staying at LU, check this out ...
ISU coach John McNichols was equally amazed by Chelanga’s performance.

“That was unbelievable. To see somebody go out in a field like this and make it look like a high school senior running against a junior high team, that’s just unbelievable. That’s the national champion we were looking at. No guarantees obviously, but we sure haven’t seen anyone else in the country that looks like that.”

Amazing effort by Sam! LU is getting all kinds of attention from the runner geeks right now. I still wish Sam could have been a part of last year's team. That would have been pretty incredible. Good luck to Sam as he aims for a national title in the next month. Things are looking up!
