Congratulazioni to Modesto's Jon Olsen for being named to the U.S. World Cup Team running in the IAU World 100K Championships, April 22, in Seregno, Italy.
For non-metric types, 100K is about 62 miles.
The announcement came less than a week after Olsen narrowly missed three-peating in the Modesto Marathon.
Olsen was more than 6 minutes behind the leader and eventual winner Clyde Behunin of Utah at the marathon turn-around.
Olsen made up time and was only 2 minutes behind just before the over-crossing with less than 2 miles to go.
He lost to the eventual winner by just 15 seconds, clocking a 2:33:01, a new PR for Olsen.
Behunin won with 2:32:46.
Olsen also plans to run Western States 100-mile Endurance Run June 23-24. The race starts in Squaw Valley, goes over the Sierra and ends in Auburn, Calif.
