Like the subject says, who would you put on have a Mt. Rushmore of current American distance runners. No Glen Cunningham, no Jim Ryan, no Alan Webb, not even Ryan Hall. My picks:
Matt Centrowitz,
Shalene Flanagan,
Galen Rupp,
Jim Walmsley.

Tsk, tsk, that race yesterday gave ultra running more visibility then it ever had. It was no different than shorter winning in Munich, Joan Benoit in LA and Dave Scott winning the Ironman
The event is not going to be the same.
Jaeger, Rupp, Meb, Desi.

Huddle - Her domination of the track and road over other americans is just insane - AR in the half, 5k, and 10000m
Rupp - No brainer
Matt Centrowitz
Jenny Simpson
Shalane wasn't/hasn't been as dominate as Molly, and Jenny has more global championship medals
Wow. American distance running is so good right, it's actually hard to choose.

BOTH LIKELY DOPERS
Rupp- Arguably the greatest non-African born male distance runner of all time (5k-marathon), two Olympic medals.
Centro- Olympic gold, two WC medals, super consistent near the top of the global 1500 ranks.
Simpson- WC gold, three other Olympic/WC medals, similar deal to Centro.
Coburn- I want to keep the gender balance even, arguments could be made for Huddle or Flanagan, but no global medals hurts Huddle, and I consider WC gold to be more impressive than winning NYC.

If you meant Justyn Knight, he is Canadian.

Walmsley best a bunch of nobodies
At least Rupp and the others had to finish ahead of Bekele to get a medal and the countries of Africa and Ethiopia to get a medal.
