Is anyone from ND involved? At first glance, I didn't see anyone listed in the NBC press release.




I enjoyed watching the races on Saturday

The men's race was entertaining, particularly at the end as Conner Mantz and Clayton Young more or less finished in a tie. It seemed like Young yielded to Mantz allowing him to officially win. Both guys have met the Olympic standard (2:08:10) based on their Chicago Marathon times and are locked into the Paris Olympics this summer. The 3rd place runner, Leonard Korir has to wait and see if he makes it based on an incredibly complicated selection process I will not try to explain.

The women's race was a bit of a surprise as Fiona O'Keefe, in her Marathon debut, won by a pretty good margin (32 seconds) over the favorite and American record holder Emily Sisson.
