About Galen
Rupp created a buzz surrounding the 2011 USA Outdoor Championships in Eugene when he chose to wear a special mask during the 5,000m and 10,000m final to help fight his Oregon summer allergies. He owns the American record in the 10,000m and also set the indoor 5,000m record in 2009 at 13:18.12 only to have Bernard Lagat run a bit faster at 13:11.50 in 2010. At the University of Oregon, he joined up with teammates Matthew Centrowitz, Andrew Wheating and Shadrack Kiptoo-Biwott to set the outdoor collegiate 4x1-mile relay record of 16:03.24. Also as a Duck, he became the first person in NCAA history to win the 3,000m, 5,000m and the distance medley relay at the same championships. In just 2007 alone he was a seven-time NCAA All-American (twice outdoors, four times indoors and once in cross country). Rupp placed 13th at the 2008 Olympic Games in the 10,000m and was the fastest non-African in the race.
