Since they have from Jan 1 2008-Aug 2009 to get the standard, Flanagan, Goucher, Rhines, Fleshman and Barringer all have the A standard for the 5k already. Rowbury was 2 seconds off it in her first race this season back in April.For the 10k Flanagan, Goucher, Huddle, Rhines and Yoder Begley have the A.For men in the 5k, Lagat, Solinsky, Vaughn, Fam and Rupp have the A. Teg does not yet have the A, but is close with 13:22, so he has the B.For the 10k, Abdi, Rupp, Nelson, Fam and J. Torres have the A.

Since Athens, and even before, Deena has been an ambassador for our sport. And what a great ambassador she's been. But for those of us who listen to lots of DK interviews, her geared-towards-the-soundbite-or-short-quote-in-a-running-article responses can be a little maddening. I'd LOVE to hear from the real Deena. Selby, you were ALMOST able to stand up to her near the beginning - were almost able to make her answer in a way which was not what she thought we should hear. Keep trying, KS! If anyone can, YOU can! I'd love to see a genuine "Flannagan?! Yeah, that little huzzie is rounding up my records, when this foot heals I'm gonna break it again... Kickin her ass!"
