The boys did well in a predictably slow, tactical race (2:50 at the kilometer, 5:36 at 2K). After the kicking dust had settled, Matt placed third in 8:03.56 behind Bernard Lagat and Edwin Soi. Chris was right there in seventh in 8:04.78, ahead of such studs as 12:48 5K man Isaac Songok and kicker supreme Abraham Chebii.
This race in Stuttgart, Germany was their last outdoor track competition. The main race now is packing for the move in the fall to Portland, Oregon.
