Ryan Hall, who won the United States menâs Olympic marathon trial in November, and Dan Browne, a 2004 Olympian in the marathon, joined the field for Saturdayâs United States cross-country championships in San Diego. The first nine finishers in the menâs 12-kilometer race will qualify for the world championships March 30 in Scotland. But if the 25-year-old Hall qualifies, he said he was unlikely to go.In a telephone call from his training base in Big Bear Lake, Calif., to the New York Track Writers Association, he said, âI donât think I would go because I donât think it would fit into my buildup.âThe buildup is for the London Marathon on April 13. Last April, Hall ran London in 2 hours 8 minutes 24 seconds, the fastest marathon debut ever by an American. In November, he ran 2:09:02 over a more difficult course in the Olympic trials in Central Park. He said he was pleased to become one of the worldâs elite runners. âThe Olympic trials were the highlight of my career so far, and Iâm happy to be able to enjoy it,â he said. âIt really opened up my mind to what I could do.â.
