This is a tragic loss for the running community. He broke Kipchoge's WR in just his 3rd marathon, and he was poised to rewrite all the marathon record books. I met him at the Nike store on South Congress a couple months ago as part of The Running Event. He was really down to earth and soft spoken. I gathered he was still adjusting to the international spotlight which can be hard for a 24 year-old. I ran that Chicago Marathon, and he graciously signed my participant shirt from it and included his time.
