That image is from the 2008 Trials - Rupp is smiling as it was his first appearance at the Trials and it was in Eugene. The photo is for the first round of the 5000. Rupp was in lane #10. Solinsky in lane #1.
They both autoqualified but Rupp 'won' the heat by kicking it in from 5th to 1st coming off the final turn when it was clear they'd all get in. The move was a bit a controversial.. Here is what we wrote about it at the time.
