Remember when anyone who understood track recognized that Rupp was far and away the best distance runner America has produced in decades?

Fantastic writing! I personally have done this very thing and it was, indeed, glorious.

From further down in the Elite 5k results ...
38 Dennis Simonaitis 15:29 48yrs old
39 Chris Mocko 15:33 24yrs old
At age 48 to be running sub5 pace for a 5k, in November, and beating guys literally half your age ... damn man. Props to Simonaitis. Does he just train like a fiend or what?
You missed Alan Newton is 25th place. Top master in 14:49. Beat Simonitis by 40 seconds. Newt will be 48 next month.

Also important to know a bunch of the Kenyans never ran for time but just to win. Also whenever the went head to head with the Americans they always won except for the continental cup, so the Kenyans still come out on top.
I was impressed by Webbs (f***ing lack of apostrophes!) effort. Hopefully a sign of good things in 2011. WC final in the 1500?
