“I just love to compete. I love to train. I just want to be running among the best. We’re gonna make American distance running great…I just want to be part of it and push the greatness.” – Abdihamid Nur after winning the USATF 5K Champs FULL INTERVIEW 🎥 youtu.be/GYCMzDl6Tsw

I’m a fan! Abdihamid’s first time in NYC, second race as a pro (first was World Champs), first real road race and first USA national title… have a feeling he’s a big fan of NYC already and will be back for many more races in the years to come!

No surprise here, congratulations Coach Smith! 📰 bit.ly/3A5sUGJ #RaiseTheFlag | #BigSkyXC
