It’s not the Tenessee whisky created by a man called Jack Daniel, who launched the Jack Daniel’s Distillery - the US’s oldest registered distillery - in 1866, and which until today produces some of the world’s finest whiskies. The Jack Daniels in question is JCB’s coach who has spurred the ex-Kenyan so close to joining the famous Bernard Lagat as a former Kenyan on the US Olympic roster.The Jack Daniel most of us know died way back in 1911, although the famous quote from the distillery he bequeathed appropriately mourns that he is “still with us in spirit.” Well, on Saturday, JCB , who was spirited to the US by 1988 Olympic 1,500m gold medallist Peter Rono and her husband-to-be Jay Bawcom came close to winning a US ticket to the London Olympics when she finished fifth at the US Olympic marathon trials.She improved her personal best time by a massive, close to eight minutes, clocking two hours, 29 minutes and 45 seconds.
