RUNNING STRONG: Boaz Cheboiywo (inset), a 2003 Eastern Michigan University graduate and former NCAA cross country and 10,000-meter champion, is the subject of a feature story in the January/February issue of Running Times Magazine. The article focuses on his training program and recent success in road racing, his life in Ypsilanti (he bought a house and got married) and American citizenship, which he expects to receive in June. Cheboiywo holds EMU records in the 3,000 meters (indoors), 5,000 meters (indoors and outdoors) and the 10,000 meters (outdoors). In 2004, he represented Kenya in the 3,000 meters at the World Indoor Championships.
