RE: t-and-f: believe it or not

[DLTFNedit]

Obviously some, if not many, of the African Juniors of the past 15 years have not been 
juniors. Moses Kiptanui was definitely not 19 back in '91. There was NO WAY that Addis 
Abebe was 19 back in '89. Dude had a receding hairline (Okay, so did the Mastalir's in 
high school, but that's different).

But I would not hesititate to believe that Ismael Kirui was 18 in '93 when he won the 
World Champs 5K for the first time. That guy really looked like a true 18-year-old. 
Sure, that has him running 28:30 or so at age 16, but if Chapa could run that in high 
school, Kirui could do it at 16.
