Interview with Shadrack Kiptoo Though he's been living in Albuquerque, New Mexico for more than a year, Kenya's Shadrack Kiptoo just began to make a splash on the national high school scene this fall. Under New Mexico rules, Kiptoo was forced to sit out a year before competing for La Cueva High School. Once he was cleared, Kiptoo won a state title and the Foot Locker West Regional title; his third-place finish at the 2003 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships marked his first loss of the season. Kiptoo covered the 5k course in 14:58, three seconds behind winner Matt Withrow.
