The great Henry Rono had everything....he could front run as well as a Ron Clarke,surge like Kuts/Foster and had a great last lap (I saw him run in London once in a slower 5K race and he covered the last lap in 54 seconds).Sadly his best days didn't last too long and with Kenya's boycott of the '76 and '80 Olympics ,he didn't get the chance of greater exposure. Thankfully his best season,1978, when he famously broke four WR's in 81 days,did coincide with the Commonwealth Games,held in Edmonton,Canada.Whether or not he was the greatest Kenyan runner ever is a matter of opinion,but for myself at least,he was ,and always will be,the most exciting middle distance runner I have ever seen. He's had a fair share of problems since those days but if you're out there somewhere,Henry,thanks,and keep on truckin'!

By 1974 in the UK we already knew of Ovett,winning national titles and international medals whilst still a teenager,but assumed he would go the way of all British hopes (Foster,Bedford,etc) come the Olympics...and so it proved in 1976 in Montreal. 1977 was therefore something of a revelation as his ambitions went upwards and outwards,culminating in his remarkable 1500 metres run in the World Cup of that year,absolutely blitzing a world class field. In 1978 he seemed unbeatable (except to the odd chemically enhanced East German) even beating the amazing Henry Rono in a 2 Mile WR. Then came '79 and Coe and things changed,Ovett chasing the clock he'd so easily dismissed up to that point.Afterwards followed two glorious years for them both and world records galore. Maybe it was a good thing that they didn't meet outside the Olympics as 30 years on we're still talking about who was the best !Then Ovett lost an argument with a church railing and was never quite the same force again as new names like Cram and Auoita took over.But after missing most of '82 and following a disappointing '83, the old stride came back at the season's end for one last great WR in Rieti. It was ,sadly,mostly downhill after that.... Was he the greatest miler of all time?Probably not,but he was without a doubt up there and was sure as hell the coolest!

Certain events in the Commonwealth Games are often criticised for lacking depth in quality. This cannot be said about the men's middle distance races. They are often classics, with some of the best runners in history making their mark. Keino,Clarke, Jipcho,Foster, Stewart,Rono,Moorcroft....need I go on ?Here's the closing stages of five great races from '66 to '82.

Henry Rono (born February 12, 1952 in Kapsabet) is a Kenyan former athlete.

Biography[link]
Rono was born in Nandi Hills, Kenya, into the Nandi tribe. He started running while at primary school. Starting in 1976 he attended the Washington State University, along with his compatriot Samson Kimobwa, who broke the 10,000 meter world record in 1977. He was coached there by John Chaplin. More Kenyan runners would later enroll at the Washington State, including Bernard Lagat, Mike Kosgei, and Patrick Muturi. While at Washington State, Rono became only the third person in history (after Gerry Lindgren and Steve Prefontaine) to win the NCAA Men's Cross Country Championship three times, doing so in 1976, 1977, and 1979. His winning time of 28:07 in 1976 remains the fastest 10,000 meter cross country time in NCAA history (although in 2008 Galen Rupp ran 27:41 at the NCAA regional meet on a course that was said to be 80 meters short of the regular measure). He was also NCAA steeplechase champion in 1978 and 1979 and NCAA Indoor Champion in the 3000 meters in 1977.
The peak of Rono's running career was the 1978 season. In a span of only 81 days, he broke four world records: the 10,000 meters (27:22.5), the 5,000 meters (13:08.4), the 3,000 meters steeplechase (8:05.4), and the 3,000 meters (7:32.1); an achievement unparalleled in the history of distance running. He lowered the 10,000 meter record by almost 8 seconds, the 5,000 by 4.5, the steeplechase by 2.6, and the 3,000 by a full three seconds. In the same year he also won the 5000 m and the 3000 m steeplechase gold medals at the Commonwealth Games. Among his other performances was a steeplechase / 5000 m double in one day during qualifying at the NCAA championships at the University of Oregon at Eugene's Hayward Field. He set meet records in both events, turning in an 8:18 and 13:22. The former took 6 seconds off the NCAA meet record for the steeple. When he ran the steeplechase final the next day, he won in 8:12.39, taking another six seconds off the steeplechase mark. He won 10,000 metres and 3000 metres steeplechase gold medals at the 1978 All-Africa Games
Although he was never quite as dominant as he was in 1978, Rono continued to run and compete at the same high level for the next four years, running the world's fastest 5,000 meters of the year (13:19) and winning the NCAA cross country championships in 1979, running one of history's fastest 10,000 meter races in 1980 (27:31.68), having a strong year in the 5,000 meters with several high quality races, including another 5,000 m world record (13:06.20) in 1981, and running history's third fastest 5,000 meters (13:08.9) as well as twice running under 27:30 to come within seconds of his world record for 10,000 meters in 1982.
Rono would never get to compete at the Olympics, as his country boycotted both the 1976 and the 1980 Olympic Games and by 1984 he was no longer competing.
His 3,000 m steeplechase world record (8:05.4) stood for 11 years, and, as of 2011, still stands as the NCAA record. His 10,000 meter world record remained the fastest 10,000 meter time ever run by an NCAA athlete until Sam Chelanga ran 27:08 in 2010 at the Payton Jordan invitational
Today, Rono is coaching high school athletics in Albuquerque, New Mexico and pursuing a graduate degree in special education. After turning 55 in February 2007, Rono is attempting to break the world masters mile record for the 55-59 age group. He also wrote his autobiography, entitled Olympic Dream, in 2007.
