Hi All, Earlier this week, I mentioned that I was putting together a list of the top 20 finishers from the men's US Marathon Championships from the last decade. This was stimulated by an interest in those sorts of stats but also a desire for some idea of what it has taken recently to breach the top ten in a US Champs.
So, this is what I was able to compile. I'm still missing most of the runners from the '92 trials. Heck I WATCHED that race, you'd think I'd remember more :-( I wasn't able to find anything but the winner from '93, not even the location :-( Only 3 of the LA Marathon runners from the '94 champs I've listed are U.S. runners - if anyone has more in depth results that would be great. 11th through 20th from the 1995 race were not for me to find. I only had last names from the 1999 race, so I filled in the firsts from memory of those I knew. Any additions would be cool! I have plumbed the depths of the internet and discovered that everything is there - IF it happened after 1995 :-) Many thanks to the Track and Field News website archives for some of these results. Most of the otheres were from race website historical archives. The more scattered results are from various articles mentioning something like "...the '92 trials race where my buddy Jim Hage finished 8th..." Some of those are not very reliable :-) Cheers, Buck Jones 1992 Olympic Trials - Columbus, OH 1. Steve Spence 2:12:43 8. Jim Hage Ed Eyestone Kieth Brantly Bill Reifsnyder Bob Kempainen 1993 1.
