As Kemboi passed the finish line leading the 800-meter race pack, he threw his hands up and held up a seven sign with his hands — seven fingers.
“I was supposed to celebrate, but you know there are some rules when you do some stuff,” Kemboi said with a wide grin. “They might DQ [disqualify] you. So I said, ‘You know what, I’m going to cool it for now.’”
So Kemboi replicated what he did after his win at the Big 12 Indoor Championship this season and held up the number of Big 12 victories he owns — at that time it was six fingers, now it's seven.
