No, he was a 1500/3000m guy through his teens and ran few 800s, at 18 he
couldn't break 50 for 400m (at least according to the progressiong charts
in Coe and Martin's book).
If he had gone though the U.S. collegiate system I suspect he would have
ended up a 5,000m guy! (and probably would have beat Aouita to first
under 13:00).
