I randomly caught up with Danny Drinkwater at the Prefontaine Classic and he gave me an update on his son Will.  On a Nike Heritage trip to Eugene in 2004 we met Will.  He was thrilled to have his picture taken with Venuste Niyongabo, a Nike employee and the 1996 Olympic gold medalist at 5000 meters.  Today I found out that Will was inspired by our chance encounter and he is currently a runner at Stanford ... which means that he is both fast, and smart!  I plan to follow Will's career at Stanford and post what I hear..
