From high school PRs of 4:28 in the 1600m and 10:08 in the 3200m to 3rd place at the US Marathon Trials in 2:11:40, and then 22nd place in the Beijing Olympic Marathon in 2:16:07.
Aside from Meb, the London Olympic marathon was a disaster for Americans, with 2 DNFs.
Will we see another Sell-type qualify and finish respectably, or are we going to see faster, yet more fragile guys qualify and go for broke? I'm kind of torn as to which I would rather see, given the last Olympic let down.
