She isn't 13. She was born in 1990 but it's still a good time for a youngster. I'm sure they just made a typing error.

Or she pulled out the wrong passport? :-)

There's a bucket of salt at the door. Please take a grain upon entering.

the birthdate i listed 2-18-94 was from the start list of the fbk games, last week i wrote from an iaaf article that demetria washington ran 49.35 for 400 when she actually ran 52 seconds, myoptimism to see good times i guess leads me to foolish mistakes and poor results on prediction contest., but sule utara is scheduled to run the 3k at the world youth champs on july 11-15th along with her ethiopian teammate genzabe dibaba the younger sister of tirunesh and e. dibaba.

She finished one place ahead of Genzebe Dibaba in Mombasa, where Utara is listed as being born in 1990. She also won the Ethiopian trials.

If she was born in 1990, she'd still be eligible for that meet.
