Lovell and Ogletree’s biggest rival in the U.S. is the team of Lars Guck and Jonathan Farrar. At both the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials, the final race was the deciding one that sent Lovell and Ogletree to the Olympics. In 2004, they won the 16-race Trials series over Guck and Farrar with one race to spare.
