W&M Olympian Brian Hyde Talks To sss.org
W&M has had some people come very close to the Olympic team (Howell Michael in the 1500 in the 70's and Matt Lane who was 4th in the 5K in 2000 and 2004). Brian Hyde made the US team for the '95 World Championships in the 1500 by finishing 2nd at the national champs and then finished 5th at the '96 Olympic Trials, but still made the team by virtue of being the 3rd person who had the "A" standard. This week, Ed Moran will be shooting to our second Olympian. Hear Brian's interview where he talks about his experiences on both teams and why he thinks Moran will likely be our next Olympian (and see a newly added interview with him in the story below this one).
