Those were the golden years of the second wave of American runners. Galen Rupp was a mega star that ignited it, Jordan Hasay was a phenom and Germans Fernandez looked to be the best natural talent USA has ever produced. I was a freshman in college enjoying every minute.

I always wondered what happened to German Fernandez. He looked like he was going to burst on the international scene and then he just fell apart.

Galen wasn’t having it on this day. He’s had quite a career. NCAA champ, 2nd in the Olympic 10,000, 3rd in the Olympic marathon. He’s most likely set for life, but I see a coaching gig if he wants one.

Awesome. I ran in the 1971 state meet in Illinois that had a false start . Most people just kept going and it took probably a quarter of a mile to get the field to stop and go back. Notable entry in that race? Future multiple state and NCAA champion, American record holder and Olympian Craig Virgin. He ran 2nd that day as a Sophomore, but later held the state cross country record for 47 years. Tremendous career on the track and on the grass.

Nah. The pushing happened because Galen moved to the inside of a turn when Chelonga was wide and then cut across Galen. He did it twice.
