A week from today, we will all know if Putnam County will have a representative in London for this year's Summer Olympics.
Because a week from today, we will all know if Jeremy Criscione makes his first-ever attempt at a marathon as memorable a run as he did on a November night seven years ago when he won a state 2A cross country title.
"Right now, I'm feeling more excitement than anything. Probably by the time next week comes around, I'll have more nerves," Criscione said. "It's the Olympic trial ... you get more nervous. But the way you look at it, it's still a race. I've been in some big races before."
