Running career
Bitok ran for University of Richmond on scholarship. In 1980, he set the 1500-meter record for the Colonial Relays (hosted by College of William & Mary) at 3:40.3.[2] He was the 1600-meter anchor of Richmond's Distance Medley Relay team which participated at the 1982 Penn Relays, and ran his 1600 split in 3:55.8, only 0.7 seconds behind the winning anchor John Gregorek.[3]
gollark: ~~I expect incompetent governments would have been about equally incompetent, subject to random variation.~~ Actually, with this and level of trust in governments there are probably long-term complex things here I have no idea about.
gollark: Maybe contact tracing would have been somewhat better with 2029 technology; there seems to be a lot of work on position/thing sensing using mobile devices' radios and such now, and by then it would probably have matured. (Yes, this is overly specific, but things)
gollark: And remote work and associated tooling would probably be further along.

gollark: I think the effectiveness numbers are better for the Pfizer one.
