USATF:
According to the USATF, even though Duane Solomon's "all-star" team set the World Record, NJ-NY Track Club (who finished 2nd) will officially hold the American record, "because all members of a relay team breaking an AR must be members of the same recognized club." How about they are just 4 Americans?
USATF:
Jenny Simpson, women’s 2-Mile "Unfortunately, I had to use my kick twice today."
Missing the American record: "That stings so bad. It stings so bad. I was running really well and I was running so comfortable. That would have been a cool story if I had made that mistake and still gotten the AR. It’s a little bit of dash to my ego but a good confidence booster for the next thing.”
David Torrence, men’s 4x800 meters "No one was giving away any secrets. We didn't know what the order was, who was on what leg."

Toni Reavis:
Salazar reveals a lot of interesting info about their training/form work and has some good quotes. He says Cain's form has improved a lot this year, but Nike's developing a special strap for her to wear that will help keep her elbows tucked in. He also said he thinks Rupp is slightly faster than Farah, but Farah has more strength.
BostonGlobe.com:
Cain, who says Alberto Salazar's first call to her was an "amazing moment,” talks about the "two different kind of lives" she lives as a high school student and pro athlete. When she got to Boston, she emailed her econ professor to tell him she'd miss class on Friday. Cain told us, she's worried about AP Latin.
Alberto Salazar said Rupp was racing in an experimental pair of Nike spikes, but did a "fantastic" post-race workout in his regular spikes after dropping out.
