I'm talking about current pros who are at the top level in middle-distance or distance.
Any geniuses out there? Enlighten me!
If you can think it, you can google it!

only one i can think of is deena kastor.and no,cameron levins,lauren fleshman,dathan ritzenhein,and kara goucher arent jewish,not even remotely so,and adam goucher is only part jewish,and wasnt raised jewish.cam levins has mixed race in his background,including native canadian,but he isnt jewish,and levins is,in fact,an irish surname.theres been some good nationa leval middle distance runners from usa who are jewish.greta feldman,and danielle tauro are two that spring to mind.theyre both maccabiah games champions.

Would THEY consider themselves Jewish? If not, then no.
Jews are only 3% of the population why would one expect many Jewish professional runners? Where are the Indian, Chinese, Dominican, 7th Day Adventists, Christian Scientists? Hell, where are the good white runners?
