Hot Pace from the Gun
The 5K tonight on paper looks to be a lock with Rupp, Lagat and Lomong. The 5k, more so than any other event, looks to have the top 3 locked in. With Lagat, Lomong and Rupp in solid form it seems hard to imagine someone else sneaking in the top 3. Stranger things have happened and there is a race for a reason, but it will be a big surprise if one of the top 3 falters. Top 3 is not enough for these competitors, all 3 want to win the championship. Watch for Rupp to start grinding the pace down with 4 laps to go and Lopez and Lagat sitting for the kick. It shoud be a great race!
