Farrahadoon Durrani (class of '05) and Ahsan Khan (class of '06) are both running at UIC. Ahsan is running
mid-distance and Farrahadoon is running distance. Both are excited about their new team and doing well in their studies.
They are looking to get an apartment together near campus. In a recent phone call from Farrahadoon he said "hey
coach you live near UIC me & ace can live with you that way you can help us with Calculus Hw" I responded by
laughing then hanging up. i hope to see the both of them race this spring.

Matthew Kim is in his Freshman year at North Park University. I'd see him around the neighborhood running with
his team. I've talked with his new coach much more than with Matt but coach says he's working hard and doing
well.

Mark Akins is in his Freshman year at Aurora University. I'd hoped to see him continue his running as he had
such a terrific junior year at Mather and had such battles with injuries his senior year. He is on the team and enjoying
college life and running very much.

I've seen Kevin "boltin" Baker (class of '05) a few times in past weeks. He was at College of
DuPage his freshman year when he ruptured his achilles. (a real bummer because they won the Junior College National Championship.)
Anyway the injury forced him to hang up the spikes. He missed living in Chicago and transferred to Wright College
this year. He's doing well though and is working towards becoming a PE teacher and coach. I'm excited
about coaching his little sister next year at Mather. Kevin describes her as "quiet" and smart. Those
qualities and a little of the Baker speed will make her fun to coach.
