> [@phungi](#): > > Bobby Hehir, former NCAA player and coach, [dead at 65](https://www.telegram.com/obituaries/pneo0719892)… points!. 35 points, not 65. 65 is quite young to die, but I thought he was 35 when you posted that. ---

He was just four months older than me. And when I went to dig up his birthdate, I found several guys with the same name, including a serial killer. ---

I hadn’t seen this. This is first and foremost of course a tragedy for the two men killed in the crash, and their families. But it’s also a huge blow to the sport; the whole running world was looking forward to seeing him battle with Kipchoge, and wondering if he would finally break the two hour barrier in an actual race. What a shock! Deep condolences to the families and to the Kenyan nation. ---
