Tuhia tētahi tohungatanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I haere a Engels ki North Carolina State me tētahi karahipi hākinakina. I tana tau tuatahi, he whero tona kakahu, he raru whara tonu. I te raumati i muri i tana tau tuatahi, i haere ia me te tiima a motu o Amerika ki Colombia ki te whakataetae i te Pan American Junior Athletics Championships 2013
, i wikitoria ai ia i te 1500 mita. E whā marama noa iho i muri mai, i te wā hararei hotoke, ka whakatau a Engels ki te whakamutu i tana rēhitatanga ki NC State. I whakaarohia e ia te whakamutu i te oma whakataetae, engari i akiakihia e tana kaiako kura tuarua, a Chris Catton, kia kaua e mutu. I a ia e noho ana i te hotoke, ka tukuna e ia he taonga ki ana hoa kapa i NC State hei tohu o te poroporoaki, ka hokona hoki e ia he waka whakangahau i runga i te Craigslist, i pakaru i muri tonu i te hoko.
