#27	C-L8 August 11, 2008 at 9:15pm amazinfg, love this guy..absolutely an inspiration whether he medals in Beijing or not..lesson to all of you H.S> 10 min two milers, dont give up and get scared of these sub 9 min guys.. reply
#26	Yeah June 15, 2008 at 12:41pm this guy is all business in racing, I saw him win the '06 Chicago distance clic when he beat an African, he never half es it, he always leaves it all out on the race course reply
#25	T May 24, 2008 at 9:39pm this guy is a animal, he runs balls out at every race regardless of the competition level reply
#24	Nate S. March 21, 2008 at 10:26am Brian grew up 15 miles from me and was running at Saint Francis College whenever I was a high school runner. To say the least, as a high school, college, and post-college runner; Sell motivates me all the time to keep with it and train hard. reply
#23	Missing The Point March 3, 2008 at 11:57pm SheboyganRunner - if you are as tough and disciplined as sell then you could be that quality of a marathoner but very view people are tough enough probably more mentally to endure years of that kind of training. And thats not talent, its passion. reply
#22	SheboyganRunner March 3, 2008 at 10:43pm Brian Sell is an amazing runner... He ran a 10:06 two mile in high school and I ran a 10:09. So as long as I put on 160 miles a week, i can go to the Olympics...haha No Way! reply
#21	Mark J March 1, 2008 at 8:27am This is the kind of person I am glad is representing us in the Olympics: hard working and confident yet humble and thankful. Go get 'em Brian. reply
#20	Chaz February 29, 2008 at 8:38pm This guy is great! Best wishes in the Olympics! reply
#19	Steve Prefontaine February 28, 2008 at 9:37pm No need to get down on folks. Sell is a great runner, as are Hall and Ritz. Let's hope they all stay healthy and represent well in China. Gotta respect Sell's work ethic and tenacity. He sure stuck with it. reply
#18	Dathanisagirl February 28, 2008 at 8:53pm dathan looks and sounds kind of like a little girl...sell is the epitome of hard work and dedication. reply
#17	Erik M February 28, 2008 at 8:05pm if that quote is true, than dathan really is the prick people say he is... reply
#16	wtfpillowshirt February 28, 2008 at 7:49pm If nothing else, being able to handle 150ish miles a week is a talent. There are probably very few people in the world who can do that, and the fact that he can do it both mentally and physically is amazing. reply
#15	Info. Man February 28, 2008 at 6:54pm Also, as far as his "talent" goes, an excerpt from the bottom of the interview of something Dathan Ritzenhein's said about Brian Sell's talent. "'Luckily, those guys like myself and Meb [Keflezighi] and Alan [Culpepper]%u2014I don't want to say anything bad about [Brian Sell]%u2014but we have a lot more talent, probably, straight off the boards and maybe we don't have to run 160 miles a week to get to that same level. I really admire [Sell] and those guys who are doing that, because it doesn't come quite as easy for them." reply
#14	Info. Man February 28, 2008 at 6:52pm Excerpt from down towards the bottom of this interview... http://www.eliterunning.com/features/24/ "...I was thinking about how in high school my 3,200 meter PR was 10:06. I started thinking about how I just ran 26 miles faster than I could run two miles in high school." reply
#13	Try Google February 28, 2008 at 6:46pm He holds an 8.24 3k school record at St. Francis, and Also a 9 Flat Steeple reply
#12	?????????????????????????????? February 28, 2008 at 1:54pm Anybody know his College times? reply
#11	Jeff Abbott February 28, 2008 at 12:04pm I hope Brian does not settle for being satisified with making the Olympic team. He is a great athlete and needs to be shooting for a medal. good luck. reply
#10	Brooke Ferguson February 28, 2008 at 11:59am Yeah Sell!!!!! reply
#9	Great Guy... February 28, 2008 at 11:57am Tough Talented Determined= American Distance Running reply
#8	Curtis Holt February 28, 2008 at 9:48am sorry, olympic trials marathon entrant* reply
#7	Curtis Holt February 28, 2008 at 9:48am In response to well... I woudlnt say being the only Olympic marathon entrant with 2 sub 2:11 qualifying times is exactly what you'd call fading as he headed in to the trials. reply
#6	Northstars_x February 28, 2008 at 9:45am should say: talent plus hard work = 3rd place at OT trials talant plus thinking you work hard = most good runners reply
#5	Northstars_x February 28, 2008 at 9:44am Without a doubt, Sell is a very hard worker. Talk to any of his training mates and I bet they aall would talk about how tough he is. Given that, I'm sure they would also contest that he has a laod of talent. Talent hard work = 3rd place at OT trials. Talent thinking you work hard = most pretty good runners reply
#4	Still February 28, 2008 at 9:31am he has a ton of talent, you can't deny that. You don't run a 2:11 with no talent. His high school training was terrible and he still went 4:28 in the mile. Plus his ability to handle so many miles is definetely a talent. reply
#3	Well... February 28, 2008 at 8:56am i think rob is referring to the fact that sell did not break 10 in the 2 mile in high school... thats usually a pretty decent mark for high school athletes. He HAS worked very hard to be where he is now. He was basically a no-name until 2004 and then faded away until the olympic trials this year reply
#2	Sick Of It. February 28, 2008 at 8:52am I am sick of people saying that Brian Sell has no talent and has just busted his ass. Although he has busted his ass (just like every other professional runner our there), obviously he was born with talent or he would not be there. Damn just becuase he didn't win footlocker or sign with Nike means he doesn't have talent? reply
#1	Ron Duncan February 28, 2008 at 1:02am Brian Sell proves that you don't have to be born with it, that you can work hard and develop everything you need to achieve your goals. reply

Sell has racked up quite a collection of records and achievements, including: placing 25th at IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in 2003; membership to USATF World Championship marathon team in 2005; first place in the U.S. Half Marathon in 2006; Chicago Distance Classic Champion in 2006 (1:04:25); first place in the USATF 25K Championships; and third in the 2008 Olympic Trials (2:11:40). His personal best marathon was run in 2:10:47 in October of 2006. Needless to say, Sell says he’s looking forward to the “hot, flat course in Beijing.”
