After a run-in with malaria slowed his pace this past
year, Andrew Musuva, the three-time defending champion from Kenya, looks to
return to his winning ways at this year's Twin Cities Marathon (TCM).  Six of the top seven 1999 TCM finishers return, including: Musuva (1st),
Elly Rono (3rd), Daniel Kihara (4th), Joshua Kipkemboi (5th), Andrey
Kuznetsov (6th) and Gideon Mutisya (7th). Kuznetsov is Russian; the rest are
Kenyan. Also in the field will be former TCM champion Pablo Sierra, Spain,
who ran a 2:11:35 in 1994.
