  <title><![CDATA[Turning Their Tassels: Nahom Solomon]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Nahom is quite possibly the best distance runner in Georgia Tech history. He became the first Tech student-athlete since 1994 to be named an all-American in cross country.</p>

<p>Solomon ran the fastest time in 23 years by a Yellow Jacket in the 2017 NCAA Championships and finished his career by leading every race he&rsquo;d competed in over his final two years. He holds the record in every long-distance race the Yellow Jackets compete in. Nahom is earning his master&#39;s degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering with the goal of becoming a robotics engineer.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Every time I put on the GT [logo] it&rsquo;s for everybody else. It&rsquo;s not for me.&rdquo;</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
