USA Short Course

[Cal]

This was a pretty tight race. A lot of the big guns did not perform very well. I was surprised to see Goucher way back and to see Gruber win the damn thing is ridiculous. I did not think he had that kind of range. Especially because he did not look great last weekend in Boston. Luke Watson is in a roll right now. Watch out if he runs another 3k or a 5k indoors. I wish Canada held a 4km race. It would be very exciting to watch. Here are the results
