Team USA Minnesotans End Successful Tour; Sean Graham PRs with 13:23.50

Team USA Minnesota's European contingent -- Jenelle Deatherage, Andrew Carlson, and Matt Gabrielson -- capped their brief tour of the Old Country with a some solid racing at the KBC Nacht Van De Atletiek in Huesden, Belgium over the weekend.

There, Deatherage finished 5th in the women's 1500 meters in a season-best 4:10.57. You can watch Deatherage's race HERE, via Flocast.

In the men's 5000 meters, Carlson ran a season-best 13:35.86 for 12th -- he's listed as Ian Carlson, for some reason, in the official results. Gabrielson clocked 13:38.96 for 15th, a little off the new PR he set a week before in Brasschaat, Belgium of 13:30.68.

In the same Heusden race, former Stillwater star Sean Graham who now competes for the Oregon Track Club, ran a PR 13:23.50.

You can watch video of the 5000 meters HERE, on Flocast.

It's Not "All Business" in Europe ... Watch Andrew Carlson, HERE, do some fine play-by-play on the for-fun Leuven 800 meters.

(My apologies for linking to the wrong race earlier.)
