In reviewing Day 2 of the Olympic Trials, the 10,000 meters for men and women stood out. The torrential downpours during said races stand out. The guttiness of the men, the final stretch run of the women, stay in my mind. My overwhelming satisfaction was seeing Dathan Ritzenhein and Amy Hastings, who had both taken fourth in the Trials marathons, made
the 10,000 meter team.

From their redemption, in those rain-soaked races, we the fans felt many of the same feelings. Luckily, both Dathan and Amy were strong enough to handle the challenges of an Olympic Trials competition. In the end, Dathan made his A standard, and Amy Hastings won the race, and both go to London!
