So who does T&FN rank #1 in the U.S. for 5k in 2009, Ritzenhein or Tegenkamp?
Teg has the honors (USA champs and a top 10 WC finish) and a sub-13, plus his other pretty fast race. Ritz has the AR and some scalps in placing 3rd, but no real victories. And they didn't meet head-to-head, did they?
The day after Ritz's race many were giving him a spot in the World top 10, but Teg actually has a pretty good case for U.S. #1 and maybe a World top 10 spot.
Oh, did I forget to mention Lagat, #2 in the WC?
Should be interesting!!!
