BU Terrier: A memorable afternoon with Rupp in the house


 The Boston University track was rockin’ on Saturday afternoon in the middle of the Terrier Invitational, as Olympic medalist and American record holder Galen Rupp -- and his legendary coach, Alberto Salazar -- were in the house for an invitational mile. Rupp rocked the place by running the mile in 3:50.92 – a five-second facility record, and he split 3:34.78 for 1,500 meters en route). I’ve spent a lot of time in that building, and I can never recall it being that packed and that loud. It was truly a special track moment.

Here are some pictures of the day from Kathy Gould: Rupp in front of the Marist contingent; Rupp glad-handing the Marist track fans; Kelley Gould beaming with an autographed copy of Salazar’s new book. Good stuff all around.
