2016 Olympics: Galen Rupp Earns Marathon Bronze On Final Day
Former Oregon Distance Runner Galen Rupp made his mark on the World Stage on Sunday, in the Olympic Marathon.
In 2012 at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, it was the 5000 Meter Final that had a more than epic finish with Galen Rupp battling Bernard Legat to the finish line. The Olympic Trials in 2016 saw Rupp attempt to do the 5000 meter and 10000 meter double. The former Oregon Duck took the 10,000 in Eugene. He fell short in the 5000 meters.. Galen Rupp also qualified for the Olympic Marathon and on Sunday added another medal to the Oregon tally with a third place finish.
