US Olympic Team Shoutout #2

I posted a "Shoutout" earlier this week to the US Olympic team for doing so well in middle and long distance events.

Since then, the US has snagged 3 more medals....

• Adam Centrowicz gold in the 1500.  From the front...BEAUTIFUL. 
• Adam is still pretty young....
• First medal in like, forever for the US in this event.
• Paul Chelimo - silver in the 5000.
• Like the 1500,,,first medal in a long, long time.
• Special shout to Lagat for finishing 5th at 41 years old.  Inspiring for old guys like me!
• Galen Rupp - bronze in the marathon.
• Galen hung tough and it looks like he may end up being very successful in the marathon.
• (I hope he and Salazar are fully investigated with full disclosure and found clean...)
• Special shout out to Meb - he didn't do well today, but at 41 he was there.....
• Another special "Shoutout" to Jared Ward with a very impressive 6th place finish.  He kind of flew under the radar...but really came thru today with a  great performance and PR....
• All while taking Sunday off every week for religious reasons.  Again...there's many ways to do it...

I hope this marks a trend in US middle and long distance track and field....
