Virginia's most prized high school distance running recruit this year in Annandale senior Ahmed Bile has announced this past week that he will be attending Georgetown University next fall. The college decision is now one less thing for Bile to worry about as he heads into this weekend's Foot Locker South Regional in Charlotte and attempts to qualify once again for the Foot Locker Nationals, which he earned All-American honors at last December. With a 1:50 800 meter and 4:09 1600 meter bests, Bile is one of the nation's top returning prep middle distance runners. A four-time state champion cross country and track, Bile joins a handful of Virginians who have moved onto compete collegiately at Georgetown over recent years including Western Albemarle's Derek Armstrong, Western Branch's George Matais, Kellam's Bobby Peavey, and a trio from Blacksburg in Joanna Stevens, Matthew Howard, and Brian Hencke.
