Andrew Carlson of Team USA MN, a graduate of the University of Minnesota, has joined elite company as of this morning. Carlson's 6th place performance in the 2012 Olympic Trials makes him the 7th fastest American in their first attempts at the distance. Only two of the men ahead of Carlson weren't Olympians; Gotcher and Chapa. Chapa holds the American High School Record in the 10k at 28:32 and Gotcher will still have a good shot at making an Olympic team in the future. Andrew looks to be one of the favorites to qualify for the Rio de Janiero Olympics in 2016 as Meb and Abdi will most likely retire before then.
Great Race today Andrew!
