Whatever
Michael Stember was trying to communicate down the
homestretch...
|
...Alan
Webb ignored it. Stember won in 3:39.74, with Webb
second in 3:39.92.
|
Rob
Myers (3rd, 3:39.96), Chris Estwanik (4th, 3:40.32)...
|
...Scott
McGowan, and Drew Griffin (6th, 3:41.52) all advanced
to the final.
|
Rob
Myers finishes third.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Though
there was a lot of pressure on Webb to make a good
showing here, the fact that he had...
|
...the
"A" standard meant that no matter where
he finished, he had a good chance of making the team.
|
Scott
McGowan (fifth, 3:40.97) congratulates Alan Webb.
|
Nike
Farm Team teammates Drew Griffin (left) and Chris
Estwanik both advanced.
|
Brendan
Rodgers moves to the front on the first lap of the
5,000m final.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because
there was only one athlete in the field (Jonathon
Riley) with the...
|
...Olympic
"A" standard and two (Louis Luchini and
Jorge Torres)...
|
...who
had the "B" standard, most of the athletes
in the field wanted a fast...
|
...race
here. And because nearly half of the athletes in the
field had some...
|
...ties
to the Nike Farm Team, they seemed to be working together...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...to
set a quick pace.
|
R-L:
Jon Riley, Chad Johnson, Bolota Asmerom, Ahman Dirks,
and Mark Menefee.
|
R-L:
Dirks, Menefee, Louis Luchini, James Carney, Jorge
Torres, and Seth Hejny.
|
Torres,
a 2003 graduate of the University of Colorado, had
struggled with injuries this year.
|
Tim
Broe (third from right) won the 2003 U.S. title in
this event despite having a broken left foot and a
stress fracture in his back.
