Quotes
- "I've always told my coach that if he can put me in contention to be a medalist, I can walk away pretty happy.
- As long as I go out there and display some of the hard work and come away saying, 'I worked hard and it showed in that race how hard I've worked this year,' I'll be happy with that. My goal is to, at least in terms of numbers, to be in the top half of every race and make that 5K final, which is really hard to do. Just be in contention, that's all I care about."—Shalane FlanaganBoston.com: Flanagan is in the Running (August 15, 2008)
