We are very proud of all seven athletes for the work they have done to qualify for and prepare to compete at this historically strong Olympic Trials Marathon. We look forward to toeing the line with such an amazing field. The goal for each athlete is to perform to the best of his or her abilities on the day, and to finish having left it all out there. We are honored to be there to represent our families, friends, sponsors and supporters.
