I realize that Kenyans are better at distance running than Americans, but how much of their collegiate success is due to them being older and having fabricated birth certificates?
They're not fabricated, they are inaccurate. Nobody, including the athlete, really knows. It is a difficult concept for many ethnocentric Americans, but many lives and cultures are very, very different than ours. People are people, accept them.
I'm not sure how it ranks to previous years, but from my research, last year's top50 finishers had 12 nations represented;
US - 26
Kenyan - 8
British - 5
Irish - 2
Ugandan - 2
Australian - 1
Belgian - 1
Burundian - 1
Canadian - 1
Czech - 1
Eritrean - 1
Jamaican - 1
