Ayalew Taye MA text by Pete Cava Ayalew Taye came to the United States from his native Ethiopia 4 years ago, and said it was tough adjusting to different food and cold weather. When it came to running, however, the handsome 18 year-old made the transition look easy. Content to let Ben White (Syracuse, NY) set the pace, Taye hung back behind Justin Harbor (Bunnell, FL). Harbor surged past White at the bell, and with half a lap to go Tayeh moved into the lead. He finished first in 4:114.31, with Harbor second in 4:15.66 and White third in 4:16.96. Sophomore Sintayehu Taye, Ayalew’s brother, took sixth in 4:18.21. Ayalew, 18, is a junior at Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Mass., while Sintayehu is a sophomore. “I knew he [White] was going to come back,” said the lanky 5-10, 140-pound Taye. “That usually happens. I didn’t really peak for indoors. I decreased my mileage a little bit for this meet. Outdoor track is more important.”
