Here's an update on the three men who qualified for the
U.S. Olympic
marathon team last November (in order of finish, with qualifying
time).

On April 13, Hall (right) was fifth in London
, the fastest marathon in history
(six runners under 2:07); he ran the half marathon on world-record pace and
finished in 2:06:17, the third-best time ever by a U.S.
runner.
DATHAN RITZENHEIN

Won the U.S.
cross-country title in February, but has raced sparingly since
while recovering from a sore iliotibial band in his knee.
BRIAN SELL

Finished fourth at the U.S.
15-kilometer championships in March; plans to leave
Michigan
for a stretch of pre-Games hot-weather training in Florida
