Despite recent setbacks, distance runner Clint Verran is competing in
today's California International Marathon with hopes of qualifying for his
fourth-straight Olympic trials next month in Houston.
.
Regardless of what happens in the "last chance" race in Sacramento,
though, Verran won't be retiring his racing shoes anytime soon.
.
"If I don't qualify, I'm going to keep running," he said. "It's part of
me."
.
Verran, who's a member of the Rochester Hills-based Hansons-Brooks
Distance Project, has posted top-20 results in his three Olympic trials
races: 18th in 2008 (the race was held in November 2007 in New York);
fifth in 2004, and 11th in 2000.
.
As impressive as that streak is, Verran reminded me that it's not as lofty
as the five Olympic marathon trials that Livonia native Doug Kurtis
qualified for between 1980 and 1996.
.
Verran is a veteran in the sport -- and he has the surgery scars to prove
it. In 2008, he competed with a sore left hip in the Free Press Marathon
(finishing second in 2:18:21) and had labrum surgery a few months later.
.
Then in 2010, he underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee. A
physical therapist and founder of his own sports medicine clinic, Verran
said recovering from that operation was a process that took a lot of
patience.
.
Verran's career has come full circle. He was a former cross-country state
champion at Lake Orion High before winning the 1995 Mid-American
Conference Championship in cross-country at Eastern Michigan in 1995. In
1999 he became one of the "charter members" of a post-collegiate group
formed by brothers Kevin and Keith Hanson of Rochester Hills. Their
mission hasn't strayed from its beginnings a dozen years ago: to develop
and promote American distance running.
