The Grant Robison of a year ago would have a good chance of qualifying in this situation. In August of 03 Grant posted a 3:35.75 1500 and was close to being in respectable 3:52-3:53 mile condition. However, like so many elite American runners he got injured. Granted he is not hobbled like Ritz is, but Grant is definitely not a 100%. However, maybe he has recovered. It this is true maybe he could get into the finals.
Grant Robison's 2003 season highlights.
NCAA Champion
Bronze Pan American Games
3:35.75 1500 PB in Europe
If Robison does not make it Pyrah will be the last American to make an Olympic 1500-meter final. We will have to wait 4 more years to rehabilitate US 1500 meter runners awful showing in Athens.
Webb has put Robison in this situation. Don't blame Robison for this.
