Eric came into last
season pretty much as an unknown. He is the
first Kenyan runner to compete at LCSC, which
coach Collins says placed some high expectations
on him from both the team and himself because of
the reputation of Kenyan runners in general.
After his paperwork
cleared, Tuwei ran well for the team, finishing
consistently as the No. 5 or 6 runner. Collins
says he already has shown extreme motivation and
work ethic to get better this season.
