The article is pretty long. But SMU is mentioned. Here's what it says:
"Born in South Africa, Alistair Cragg first came to the USA to run for Southern Methodist University, in Texas, but he dropped out of SMU after a year and returned home. When he came back to America, he was recruited by Coach John McDonnell at the University of Arkansas. In his first year at Arkansas, Cragg finished third in the 2001 NCAA cross-country meet, then won the 5000m at the 2002 collegiate indoor track championships, held at the Tyson Center in Fayetteville."
