American 10,000m record holder Galen Rupp is under new management.
The 26 year-old athlete from Portland, Ore., who will double in the
5000m and 10,000m at the London Olympics, is now represented by PACE
Sports Management, the athlete management firm owned by Ricky Simms,
based in Teddington, Middlesex, England. Simms already represented
Rupp's key training partner, world 5000m champion Mo Farah. Both Rupp
and Farah are coached by Alberto Salazar and run for Nike's Oregon
Distance Project.
Rupp had previously been represented by Michael Johnson. He signed with
Johnson since turning professional in the summer of 2009 after he
graduated from the University of Oregon and completed his NCAA
eligibility.
Although PACE did not issue a formal announcement on signing Rupp, he is
now listed on the company's website with a full biography and photo: http://www.
