Speaking of turning pro... is Jennings going to join the Farm Team? How is his emotional state? I really honestly believe Gabe can run 3:30ish and be a cotender for a medal in 2008- if he is willing to work at it for that long. He, in my opinion, has all the tools: endurance, speed, race savy, etc. And he's just nutty enough to actually believe he can run with anyone. I hope he doesn't give up, finds a good training group and stable of supporters, and runs fast soon.
