Brian Sell's Gutsy Performance

[5k Guy]

Does anyone know anything about this gutsy 26 yr old from Michigan. He ran a very gutsy race at the marathon trials given the conditions and came within a few miles of pullig it off.

I would expect under good conditions on a good course such as Chicago or London with similar fitness he could go 2:10 - 2:12 as he kept 2:11-2:12 pace up for 23 miles under very windy difficlut conditions. And at 26 yr old he may have another 4 or 5 years until he peaks at the marathon distance.

Good job Brian!

This guy is really the story. He squeaked into the trials and he is now one pulled hammy away from going to Athens.

No Briney does and don't forget about Verran in 5th. All in all a pretty good day for that group:
