Of Note:
- 2018 IC4A Indoor Champion, 5000m
- Missed OTQ at CIM in December by nine seconds
- Received email from a teammate who had missed OTQ by 5 seconds at CIM, saying he was signing up for Houston. Decided to do same, but too broke to afford place to stay; found one when he reached out on LetsRun.com message board. Crossing finish line with OTQ was "one of highest highs ever"
