Gearing Up for the Olympic Marathon Trials

The 2012 road racing season will kick off with a bang thanks to the U.S. Olympic Marathon Team Trials next weekend. Twenty-eight Minnesota men and women will toe the starting line in Houston in the races that will choose the country's marathon team for the London Games.

To ramp up to the event, we wanted to share two pieces of video related to Minnesotans in the race. The first is a trailer for a documentary film Dan Vogel, Riley Conway, and Paul Sanft are producing about the Team USA Minnesota runners competing at the Trials.





The second video, by Dustin Franta, features St. John's University alum Chris Erichsen talking about this training leading up the Trials.

Blankenship Runs 3:54.10 Mile at Prefontaine

University of Minnesota miler Ben Blankenship blazed a personal best 3:54.10 mile in finishing third in Saturday's International Mile at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon.

The Stillwater High School graduate, who red-shirted this outdoor season for the Gophers, topped the Hayward Field homestretch on the shoulder of race leader David Torrence, the three-time Medtronic TC 1 Mile Champion, but was edged at the finish by Torrence and winner Ryan Gregson.

13.1 Mpls

You can watch the race in its entirety HERE.

The performance makes Blankenship, a two-time Big Ten champion in the mile indoors, the second-fastest miler in Minnesota history. Only Richfield High School alumnus Steve Holman, with a 3:50.40 from 1997 has run faster than Blankenship among North Star Staters.

Notably, Blankenship's time put him ahead of Steve Prefontaine on the U.S. all-time list. The namesake of Saturday's meet ran 3:54.6 at Hayward Field in 1973.

There's a Flotrack interview with Blankenship HERE.

The anticipated Minnesota miling duel between Blankenship and Minnetonka High School alumnus Will Leer failed to materialize on Saturday. Leer moved to the meet's 2-mile event on the eve of the meet, where he finished 9th in 8:19.11.

Kara Goucher finished 9th in the women's 5000-meters in 15:11.47.
