Kibrom Temelso, born in Ethiopia now a Boston resident, charges up Bear Cage Hill in the USATF New England Championship where he was the first man on the club team that placed third. But since he is not yet a US citizen, along with a dozen other GBTC members, he is not allowed to represent the club or compete at all in the National USATF Club Cross-country Championships.
