USA Track & Field "Get back up, even if you have been down for awhile, and keep going at it. I am sure you won’t regret that you did." - encouraging thought of the day from Ryan Hall

Source: blog.mastertheshift.com
The most difficult times for me after disappointing races is right after I cross the finish line. The disappointment really sets in strong at this point. The first person I saw at the finish was Meb. I gave him a hug and congratulated him on a great run. ...

Anyone ever hear of Bernard Lagat???? No big controversy over him. Meb just hadn't gotten the PR like Ryan Hall has....wait until the next major marathon now that people know who he is..........what a silly argument...

I'm tired of these ignorant racist writers like Rovell who don't do the appropriate homework and then make themselves look like idiots by writing disrespectful, hateful stories like this one. Meb is an American. Period. He's been a legal American for over 11 years. He and his family are more impressive Americans in almost every aspect of their ... Read Morelives than most people I know. Unless your are a true Native American, everyone who lives legally as a U.S. citizen in this country is a descendant of someone who at some point immagrated as a non-American from another country to be here. Arnold Scwartznegger isn't an American either if we use Rovell's logic and we let him be a Governor. Sheesh.

Great Women's race! However the MAC conference is one the worst in the NCAA. Only 9 of the 12 member schools still have XC for men. Even fewer have track - just 6 of the 12 schools.

Abe, you might be a little out of context. Read all of the words, don't just look at a picture and stretch out a conclusion to fit an agenda.
