Although he wasn’t on the USA Olympic team for the first time since 2000, Tucsonan Abdi Abdirahman, 39, hasn’t stopped running. He earned $3,000 and finished sixth in the Falmouth Road Race last week in Massachusetts, one of the leading stops on the U.S. Road Runners circuit. The race was won by former UA All-American Stephen Sambu, who was paid $10,000 for finishing first in the seven-mile race.
