Event Preview -
Eighteen year old Ibrahim Jeylan of Ethiopia may wish a "dress rehersal"
for his medal run at the 2008 Beijing Olympics (also scheduled
for mid-August), with the world's #2 (at any level) 10,000m runner
at 27:15.90 currently a minute ahead of the pack. He has shown
impressive improvement since a runner-up effort in last year's World
Youth 3000m (8:04.21) and a fifth in the World Junior Cross Country Championships
this past spring. Kenya
leads here with Daniel Gitau (28:17.15) from this May, with Japheth
Ng'ojoy from that nation 28:38.73 from late March in the United States. Solomon
Molla (Ethiopia) was 28:35.27 last year, with an eighth place in
the 2005 World Junior Cross Country meet. Japan has a good
group to draw from, with Tsuyoshi Ugachi (28:48.30) and 24th form
the Junior World Cross-Country championships this year, Akihiro
Matsumoto (29:00.82), and Takahiro Mori (29:00.76). China's
Ren Longyun was 28:51.73 last year for ninth in his nation's
National Games, with Mohamed Elbendir (Spain) 29:15.04 this July
(and a
13:44.05 5k from June).
