Kara Goucher ran a brilliant 5,000 at the US Track & Field Trials in Eugene, OR yesterday. Goucher passed Shalane Flanagen and Jen Rhines with 300 meters to go in the 6.2 mile run. Her powerful kick saw her motor to the finishline winning the event in 15:01:01.
While it was exciting to see Goucher win the 5k, it was equally impressive to witness two time Olympian Jen Rhines finish second in 15:02.02 qualifying herself for a third trip to the Olympic games. Rhines ran the 10,000 at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and the marathon at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
