Gent Wrap-Up: Graham Talks, Carlson Heals

Team USA Minnesota coach Dennis Barker told DtB this morning that the injury Andrew Carlson sustained in a fall in the Gent 3000 meters on Sunday won't keep the former Golden Gopher star out of his upcoming meets in Europe.

"Andrew was able to do a workout yesterday," Barker said, "so he should be good to go for the Brasschaat 5k." The Brasschaat meet is scheduled for July 21. Carlson is also scheduled to run another 5000 at the Heusden meet on July 28.

You can see Carlson's wicked tumble on the Flocast video of the race HERE. Carlson's crash happens about three minutes into the footage.

Stillwater High School alum Sean Graham won the Gent race in 7:47.69. Flocast interviews the Oregon Track Club racer HERE.
