Simply, I think Ritz's career mirrors Goucher's a worrying amount-- I'm a fan of both runners, and God knows when we're talking about American records etc., these guys are clearly great runners-- what we'r looking for, though, is world class (sub 2:09 perhaps). Ritz could be that-- but not the way he's going. And even those PRs aren't very comforting-- 2007 feels a long way off, watchng some of the recent races.
