OREGON PROJECT DUO GOES 1-2
Galen Rupp becomes first American 10k medalist since Billy Mills
It's been 48 years since an American has medaled in the 10,000 meters. Saturday night, Galen Rupp kicked into second place with 50 meters to go and earned a silver medal in the 10k final, finishing just behind Nike Oregon Project teammate Mo Farah.
Farah and Rupp were subjects of elbows and shoves from rivals throughout the race but found themself at the front of the pack comes the bell lap. At that point, Farah seized the lead and had Ethiopia's Tariku Bekele and Kenya's Bedan Karoki follow him with Rupp in fourth. Farah began pulling away with 200 meters to go while Rupp steadily made his way past the fatigued Karoki and eventually Bekele as well. Tariku Bekele held on for third place ahead of his brother Kenenisa in fourth.
The silver medal represents a watershed moment in the career of Galen Rupp. Despite winning neither a Foot Locker high school cross country title nor a NCAA championship until his senior year at Oregon, Rupp has steadily progressed under the tuteledge of coach Alberto Salazar, his mentor since high school.

Live Updates:
Mile 1: Gun goes off but the live feed is back to the long jump after only showing 200m! 1k came in in 2:54.88 after slowing a bit from the first lap. Kiprop leads with Bekele and Farrah in the mix.
Mile 2: 5:59 through the 2k, Eritreans up front picked it up a lot, went from 75's to 61's. Kiprop still leading. Americans are also in the mix with Rupp edging up in the lead pack. Americans and Farrah running together.
Pack came into the 5k mark in 14:05. It's looking like it will be a fast last half with the Kenyans and Eritreans leading. Mo Farrah is still in the mix and staying out of trouble.
