The story of Bereket Piatt and Habatamu Rubio, both PT juniors, is interesting, and not just because their coach is confident they will win state titles this year while chasing each other, although that is part of it.
The real story is the two talented runners are native Ethiopians who have been adopted by two Port Townsend families — Ruth and Tony Rubio, and Nancy and John Piatt -kitsapsun.com
How would you like to be a high school coach that has not one, but 2 native Ethiopian boys running on your cross country and track teams? I even ran against these 2 last year at the 2009 Rhody Run in Port Townsend!
