I took some heat last week after posting what I thought was an incidental remark. That said, I would have to say that Craig Mottram is officially my favorite athlete in any sport.
Excluding friends, Tegencamp comes in a close second for the opposite reason why I'm such a Mottram fan other than them both being great runners. most of you probably could give two sh!ts who my favorite runner is but feel free to post why you agree or disagree with me and who your favorite runners are. I do think that it's good to have guys to look to as your "favorite runner". That's something that other sports have that track and field may be lacking a little among other things.
What a hell of a meet though with the 2 mile and symmonds in the 800. The rest of the meet wasn't so great but those two races totally made up for it all.
