When it comes to long distances, Ryan Hall runs away from the field. The champion distance runner established himself at Stanford University as a 3-time All-American leading the Cardinals to the 2003 Cross Country Team Championship and winning the NCAA Championship in the 5000 meters. After his stellar collegiate career, Hall remained a force to be reckoned with by winning the 2007 US Olympic Team Trial with a time of 2:09:02, shattering the 1980 record in the process. If you’re looking for the next great American distance runner, look no further.
