Oregonian Talks to Philip Dunn

The Portland Oregonian recently caught up with Carleton College alum Philip Dunn in THIS story.

Dunn (pictured), an Olympian in the 50K racewalk in 2000 and 2004, recently completed the two-step process he needed to punch his ticket for the 2008 Beijing Games.

Dunn, you'll remember, won the U.S. Olympic 50K Trials in Miami in February, but still needed to better the 4:o7:00 Olympic qualifying mark. Earlier this month he accomplished that task when he walked 4:05:10 at the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Cheboksary, Russia.

Also in the News ... Chad Austin of Running Minnesota just posted THIS interview with marathoner-in-all-50-states Steve Hibbs.
