Hey Jon, the results get even more interesting, examine closely
'79: 7 under 32:50, one from GBTC, three from Boulder, CO
'80: 5 under 32:50, two from GBTC, two from Boulder, CO
What does this say exactly? Also note that most Kenyans train in big groups.

The results are interesting...
9 athletes broke 32:50 in the '97 race, all from North or East Africa.
5 broke 32:50 in the 82 race, 4 non-Africans.
I believe that shows a statistically signficant advantage by East and North
Africans.
The disparity is probably far more evident in other years,

Oh, but... the eminent Mr. Durden once told me that his fastest mile

talent to do this anyway...

Some statistics from Falmouth Road Race.
Seems like the times are about the same, all the way from 1st to 10th,
you just have to replace americans from 1970ies/80ies with kenyans and
moroccans in 1990ies and you will have pretty much the same picture.
I am sure Tom can provide similar lists for Bo
Jon and the list,
I did not conclude that the difference at the top is cultural. I conclude
