He had nothing left in the tank and will be heard saying "I am just glad to be here".

What a moronic thing to say. Not a good sign of what? How many people (other than Rupp)look relaxed while qualifying for the Olympic Games? Of course he was spent! He just ran a 27:36 negative split. Negative split!
Man, some of you are just SO stupid.

It looks like foxes chasing a rabbit.
rupp looked like he was jogging. He could have run 2700 if he wanted to today
This is awesome! Go Cal!
You have to click 'Fechar' and then the tiny tiny red 'X' will close the ads. Most of the ads on sites like this will have a 'hidden' red 'X' that will close the advertisement! Wish we had this for the Men's 10K but thanks for the link!
She's pulling farther away!

Sorry for not updating the women but we were interviewing the men. Here is our 'in progress recap'.
Women’s 10K:
Wendy Thomas took the field through in a brisk 73.9 and very quickly there was a four-woman breakaway: Thomas, Deb Maier of Cal, Natosha Rogers of Texas A&M and Alisha Williams. By 1000 meters (3:10.0), the pack, led by Shalane Flanagan had bridged the gap. Thomas, relatively new to competitive track racing, seemed to have gone out too fast. As the pace continued to slow, Flanaga, moved to the lead as the pack approached the 1600, going through in an 80.1 and 5:09.3.
With the field going through lap leading into the mile so slow, a pile-up knocked down Rogers and Nike’s Lisa Uhl. Uhl fell badly and was 50 meters back. Rogers surged quickly but Uhl moved back into contact more patiently. After the mile, Maier threw in a 76.5 to open up a 25 meter lead on Flanagan, who appeared to be waiting for Uhl.
At 2400, Uhl had worked her way back to the top chase group: Flanagan, Amy Hastings, Rogers, Williams, Meaghan Nelson of Iowa State, Janet Cherobon-Bawcom and Uhl....the group remained 50 meters behind Maier.
After Maier hit 3200 in 10:17 and a 77.9 lap, Flanagan was starting to pull the rest of the peloton back into the lead with a 76.5 and 10:20 as the lead was down to 20 meters. Then, just when it seemed they would catch her, Flanagn slowed things down to 80+ 400 pace. Heading into 3 miles, the chances of hitting the Olympic A of 31:45 SEEMED out the window, although in 2008 the top three women closed very fast in the last 5K to hit the standard.
Maier was through 5K in 16:14 and the chase pack was only two seconds back. At 5200, Amy Hastings surged to the lead with Alisha Williams (still in need of the Olympic A) tucked right behind in second. The slowish early pace had shed very few: 19 still remained attached to the lead.
Hastings kept the pace honest and the lead

They caught the Cal runner, went through 5k in 8:02ish, then 10k in 8:15ish, now she's sitting 4th. Amy Hastings in the lead, Shalane Flanagan 2nd or 3rd, big pack but it's strung out.

Shoot, i mean 2.5k in 8:02 and 5k in 16:15.
Is NBC really going to end the broadcast with a mile to go? They have always been horrible, but that would be a new form of suck.
there's an upside to having no TV...my blood pressure would go through the roof if they cut off an Olympic Trials Finals...
Oh my. The announcers just said WILLIAMS has the A standard and didn't mention Uhl.
They also believe that Hastings, Uhl, and Bawcom have to be top 3 or else they won't go. Ridiculous.
They aren't going for the 'A' time.
They would need a 9:42 final 8 laps to get the 'A' and the the last lap - now 7 to go - was a 76.8. Now 6 to go . 76.5.
The Olympic team is set.
