Muzuma Twins to Compete for Trinity Christian (5/3/06)
Joseph and Joshua Muzuma, seniors at Argo Community High School in Summit, Illinois, have signed letters of intent to attend Trinity and compete for both the cross country and track and field teams. 

The twin brothers were born in Tanzania, but came to the United States in 2000. For the past four years they have been vital members of the Argo cross country and track and field teams. Last fall, the duo led Argo to a third-place finish in the regional cross country meet, which earned the team a spot in the sectional championships. Joshua placed fourth individually at the regional level, posting a time of 16:15. 

On the track, the Muzumas are both very versatile, running anything from 400 meters to the 3,200 meters. Joshua has personal best times of 51.8 in the 400 meter, 1:58.2 in the 800 meter, and 4:30.4 in the 1,600 meter. Joseph is not far behind, with top marks of 2:02 in the 800 and 4:49 in the 1,600. The two are also part of the Argo school-record holding 4 x 800 meter relay team.

"I believe Joseph and Joshua will make a major impact at Trinity Christian College before their careers are over, not just on the track, but in our overall community," said Jeff Raymond, head track and field coach. "You only have to be around them for a short time to realize that Trinity in getting a pair of special young men. The fact that they have a great deal of athletic talent is just an added bonus."

In addition to their athletic accomplishments, the Muzumas have been very involved in student activities at Argo. Joseph is currently serving as the Student Council president, while Joshua is the senior class president. 

Joseph and Joshua are sons of Joyce Muzuma of Justice, Illinois.
