The AotW for December 7th-13th is Josh Simpson. Josh ran 29:27 (10K, XC) at the USATF Club Nationals to finish 2nd in a tough field. Abandoned for dead after 18 months of injuries and sickness (and obviously over-the-hill at the elderly age of 25), Josh has rebounded back to his accustomed elite level. With another month of training in his legs, the early part of 2010 ought to be exciting. There are a few interviews of him after the race at flotrack, if you are so inclined. Josh trains out of Morgantown, is coached by Sean Cleary and is sponsored by the New York Athletic Club. Next on his agenda is the Houston Half Marathon and then USATF Cross Country Nationals. Best of luck to him in January.
