Salazar To Coach Ritzenhein

On the heels of his runner-up finish in the 10,000m last night at the USA Outdoor Championships here, Dathan Ritzenhein told reporters gathered for the Track & Field Writers of America (TAFWA) awards breakfast this morning that he had chosen three-time New York City Marathon champion Alberto Salazar to be his new coach. “I’m going to be joining Alberto and Galen up there,” said Ritzenhein referring to Portland about 125 miles north of here. “There’s only so far you can get on your own.”
