The Week That Was

LRCWeekly Recap: The Guts/Collapse Of Georgetown, The Most Unlikely All-Americans, The Mysterious Mark Wetmore, Dathan Ritzenhein 2.0, And Kenya 500x Greater Than The USA? Our weekly recap took a Thanksgiving week break last week so this week we spend most of our time taking one last look at the 2013 NCAA Cross-Country Championships. We give out awards to most unlikely All-Americans (Aaron Nelson, Trent Lusignan andEmma-Lisa Murphy), and most improved/comeback performer (Sammy Silva) before wondering if Ben Saarel is Dathan Ritzenhein 2.0? Plus the mysterious Mark Wetmore and plenty of praise for the Kenyan and Japanese marathoners who excelled yet again at Fukuoka.
