}} Galen Rupp (born May 8, 1986) is an American long-distance runner. He competed in the Summer Olympics in 2008 and 2012, and in the latter competition was a silver medalist in the men's 10,000 meters. Rupp competed for the University of Oregon and currently trains under Alberto Salazar as a member of the Nike Oregon Project. Rupp holds multiple American records on high school, collegiate, and senior levels. They include records in the 10,000 m with a time of 26:44.36, and at the indoor 3000 m, 2 mile and 5000m with times of 7:30.16, 8:07.41 and 13:01.26, respectively. In June 2015, Rupp and his coach Salazar were at the center of doping allegations in an investigative report by ''BBC'' ''Panorama'' and ''ProPublica''. ==Early career (2002-2004)== Born in Portland, Oregon, Rupp set junior and American high school records, while competing for Portland, Oregon's Central Catholic High School. Originally a soccer player, he caught the eye of American marathon legend Alberto Salazar, who coached him to great high school success, including two Oregon state titles in cross country (2002 and 2003) and three individual championships in track and field (1500 m in 2004 and 3000 m in 2003 and 2004). After winning the Oregon state title in cross country in 2003, he went on to finish second nationally in the 2003 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships. In the spring of 2004, Rupp won his 5000 m heat against college runners at the Stanford Cardinal Invitational with a time of 13:55.32, fourth-best in U.S. prep history. He went on to break the Oregon state records for 1500 m (3:45.3) and the mile (4:01.8), the latter mark being the eighth-best in American high school history at the time. In June 2004, Rupp broke the U.S. high school record for 3000 m with a time of 8:03.67 (since broken by German Fernandez), also breaking the high school record for 2000 m en route (5:18.5). On July 31 in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium, he broke Gerry Lindgren’s 40-year-old U.S. high school record for 5000 m by almost seven seconds, running 13:37.91 for the distance. He finished his high school career with a 10,000 m race in 29:09.56 in Brasschaat, Belgium, fourth-fastest ever for an American high schooler. He was ''Track and Field News'' "High School Athlete of the Year" in 2004.〔http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/component/content/article/35-stats/2114-t-fn-boys-hs-aoy〕 Rupp delayed entering college, instead continuing to train and compete while coached by Salazar. He won the USA Junior Cross Country title in mid-February 2005, then placed 20th at the 2005 World Junior Cross Country Championships in France in mid-March. He then enrolled at the University of Oregon in time for the outdoor track season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Galen Rupp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
