Middle distance sensation, Sam Ruthe, is set to race again this weekend in Boston. Ruthe lines up for his final race of his USA campaign on Sunday, he races over 3000m indoors at Boston University. Ruthe is returning to the site of his historic 3:48 mile, this time in the hunt for the final jewel in his U20 records crown. Ruthe holds every U20 record from 800-5000m, bar the 3000m. This is likely to change on Sunday in Boston.
