UO's Galen Rupp 13th in 10K
By Associated PressBEIJING (AP) _ Oregon distance runner Galen Rupp finished 13th in the 10,000-meters at the Olympics in Beijing Sunday but his coach said he held his own and is improving. He was the top finisher from the United States and the fastest runner not from an African nation, whose athletes tend to dominate the event. The 22-year-old from Portland and the University of Oregon ran in the lead pack for the first half. He said his goal had been to finish in the top 10 in the field of 35 but that he realized that would be very difficult to do. Distance runners tend to reach their prime at about age 30. |
