Webb Fails to make Final





The men's 5k preliminaries were some very exciting performances as the two heats determined the finalists for Thursday's showdown. In heat 1, Andrew Bumbalough of Nike and Galen Rupp, the winner of the men's 10,000 on Friday broke away from the pack in the final lap to finsh 1st and 2nd, securing their spots in the final. In an attempt to make his second Olympic team, Alan Webb didn't make the final and ended up finishing 11th in heat 1.  In heat 2, Lopez Lomong emerged with the victory to cruise a 13:42 alongside American Record holder Bernard Lagat.

The women's 5k finalists were determined in two heats with the first 6 athletes advancing in each heat followed by the next four fastest times. In heat 1, Abbey D'Agostino, a sophomore from Dartmouth won in a time of 15:41 followed by Julie Culley, Julia Lucas, Emily Infeld, Deborah Maier, and Elizabeth Maloy. The 2012 NCAA champion threw in a big kick at the end to secure the victory and her spot in the 5k final on Thursday. In heat 2, the race was mostly led by American record holder Molly Huddle, Elizabeth Maloy, and Kim Conley with a very tight pack following. Maloy emerged with the win followed by Huddle, Conley, Erdmann, Williams, and an inspiring finish by Lauren Fleshman who decided to race despite various injuries.
