He says he was often teased, and track was his escape. “Even though I was a talented runner, I felt the need to hide who I was to many of my teammates and friends,” he wrote on Outsports. “Running was my escape from the world around me.
When I ran it was just me in the moment and the track.”The Georgia native ran track at Georgetown University before moving to Japan.
He says he loved the experience, until the threatening messages started. It was apparent that someone very close to Kinney was behind the torture, but he couldn’t pinpoint who. “It was almost as though I was under constant surveillance in my own home.
