Josh Rohatinsky, pictured to the right of groom Brad Mortenson, is Molly's new brother-in-law and will be running in the US Olympic Trials in the 10,000 meters! He is married to Brad's sister, Jena and trains with the Nike team in Portland, Oregon. Josh was in the Seattle area for Molly's wedding in December 2007.He's not the favorite, but has posted times that make him as qualified as any other runner to make the team.
It seems that rather than expose track and field more as the Olympics come near, the television networks seem to be treating track and field as a sidebar to be occasionally covered when they have exhausted every minute of gymnastics that can be broadcast. We'll be trying to watch Josh, either on tape delay by the major network holding the Olympic Trial broadcasting rights, or on the USA Network, which is broadcasting for a few hours during the day. Go Josh!
You can read about Josh in an article that was written prior to his running in the USA Olympic Marathon Trials in late 2007 at:
Having a family connection to a world class runner has not given me any apparent benefit in preparations for the Torchlight Parade.
