Watching ESPN and a sports center anchor, John Anderson, just mentioned Galen Rupp and Mo Fatah in a conversation about Usain Bolt. Kind of cool to see someone from mainstream sports that actually follows running (at least a little).

He was like a 6'8" high jumper at Mizzou, I think. He also does a pretty good job on ESPN's NYC Marathon coverage.
Here's an interview with him from a few years ago on espn.com

He's hosted the Bowerman almost every year at the USTFCCCA convention. He does a fantastic job and knows his track.
Too bad he isn't on NBC- they have the Rio Olympics.
