How's that? Solinksy's gone 3.54.10 in the mile and Rupp 3.57.72 (this year). Again, with a 3.5 second differential, people still project impossible feats for Galen Rupp.
Galen Rupp is a great runner. Great! But, we are all tired of people over-projecting for him.
As I've said before, he's always a year behind where people want him to be, but he always gets there.
