Tastiest Race of the Year - Best of 2009

1 Race
1 Coach
1 Training Group

3 World Champs Qualifiers

The Men's 5k at the US Championships in Eugene brought some excitement to the stands with names like Tegenkamp, Solinsky, Jager, Riley, Fam, Fernandez, Asmerom, Quigley, and more all fighting for only three spots on the US World Championship Team. With Fam throwing spontaneous surges throughout the race it came down to a final 400 that finished in something crazy, around 53 seconds, and we saw Jerry Schumacher send three guys to Berlin! Throw in Bolota who finished fourth in the US Champs AGAIN and a new American Junior Record by German Fernandez (13:25), this was a race that many anticipated all season.
