Galen Rupp had back issues, stopped during the race, did some stretching, called his mom, did a cross world puzzle and still finished two minutes ahead of the next American marathoner. That's our marathon team!
With "But I was Hurt" Teare and Hocker out, the 1500 was left to Josh Thompson who was out for a nice ZONE 2 run in the finals. Seriously, what was that?
That run was a bigger stain on Bowerman than anything Shelby Houlihan has done. Why show up?
On to the 800..... the times are abysmal for July.
On our own soil......
Grant Fisher ran like an absolute champ. Ruppesk performance on a huge stage.
One of the few bright spots in otherwise absolute dismal performance for USA mens distance.
