Spc. Paul Chelimo placed second in the U.S. Indoor Track and Field
Championships 3,000-meter race, held March 11, in Portland, Oregon.
His time was 7:39:00 just a few hair-widths behind first-place Ryan Hill's 7:38:60.
However, coming in second is just about as good as first because only
the top two of the 12 competitors get to go to the World Indoor Track
and Field Championships later this week.
It should also be noted that Army Staff Sgt. John Nunn won the 3,000
meter race/walk as well. However, there's no World Indoor Championships
for that event, but that's a huge accomplishment nonetheless.
