Ritzenhein was the last runner to finish. He crossed
the finish line in 31:13.91.

Because
of the 27:38.50 he had run earlier in the season,
and because Mike Donnelly did not meet the "A"
standard...
|
...Ritzenhein
did end up qualifying for the Olympic Team and running
in Athens. Above: Meb Keflezighi celebrates his victory...

...with
an American and Eritrean flag. Keflezighi was born
in Eritrea but moved to the U.S. in 1987. He became
a U.S. citizen in 1998.
