Going fourth

Article Abstract:

Gwyn Coogan and Steve Plasencia finished fourth in the 1996 Olympic Marathon Trials, and both accepted the results in good spirits. Too many people think finishing first, or at least in the top three, is essential, but fourth place is better than 10th, and 10th is better than dropping out of the race.

Article Abstract:

There is much right with US marathon running in spite of the poor showing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics where the US men placed in the 28th place, the lowest since 1956. Marathon running is popular in the US and this participation keeps the sport lively and funded. A winner will surface soon.

United States, Marathon running
