Adam Goucher and Galen Rupp both are heading to World X-Country Championships were I feel they will both have very good performances. At the Washington Last Chance Meet Goucher pulled a great double and Galen snagged the American Junior records indoors with a performance equal to the outdoor record.

*************
I have been more amazed with Galen Rupp performances as a Junior than Dathan's and feel if Galen remains healthy this year he could possibly shatter the outdoor AJR for 5000m and 1000m by runnning: 13:27 (5000m) and 28:09 (10000m). Hopefully our runners can continue to improve and 2005 will be a great year for our young talented juniors and established runners at the World Championships.
