Well, at least from the 5000m meter list. 3 of the 4 US athletes sub 13 minute 5000m were from there. And 3 of 5 of non-Africans to break 13 on the entire planet.

Midwest guys are tough as nails. Three pasty white kids that had to train through cold and snowy winters and shitty weather spring track seasons break 13. No one else ever has. Unreal.
we all know east coasters are a bunch spoiled pussies.

Add Goucher, Diemer, Wottle and Wurth-Thomas to your midwest list. Spivey and Todd Williams, too, unless I missed him.
Pat Porter too--he was from Minnesota.
Shameful none of the midwesterners named Jim Ryun.
All this for a third and a seventh place finish .... whoa, Nellllllie.
What are you going to do if they win something...something big?
Midwest: guts, big balls, and athletic talent.
East and West coast: less gutsy, smaller balls, less athletic talent, better lives in every way other than sports.
South: FAIL.
