We had some young guys with their backs against the wall. We got a bad call that never should have happened. They were not going to let someone come in here and steal the national championship, which is what the referee tried to do. We had several guys perform above what was expected and they showed a lot of heart.

I'll tell you one thing, I think this was the best NCAA meet as far as the crowd goes. It was packed. I don't think we could get another body in here. I was really happy with the fans. They really supported us. If you can't get excited about running in this kind of atmosphere, then you are in trouble.

Kenya has a lot of great runners. Being a world-class runner is the thing to do over there. It's like hitting home runs or wanting to be a great baseball player. Being a great distance runner is everybody's dream there.
