So the last couple years in track and field has been amazing. A resurgence of the sport has been shown with the trampling of barriers that American distance runners has not yet been able to accomplish yet. Not only that but stronger fields within the sport. Stronger front packs, especially lead by the Oregon Track Club Elite. First 2 americans go under 13 mins for the first time since Bob Kennedy in the 90's and one of them being the new american record, happening within 2 weeks of each other. Then almost a year later the first non-african to go under 27 mins in the 10k! Just amazing performances and in our life time. This is just amazing all around to see this happen. This is definately up there with Billy Mills being the only American to win an olympic 10k. Here is the video, the excitement in the last lap is just amazing:
