68 U.S. Athlete Development Project Runners
Credit on this post belongs to Kevin Regis, who commented on Edwin's post and mined Greg McMillan's message board for the information. (Nice job, Kevin - and nice spectator pics from last year's marathon!)
I'll get my ass chewed out for this (but those that are chewing it will always remember who I am.) Ask Dan Cunningham at the Chronicle about 'Jon Walk' and 'private schools'.
But my point is that if this was up on Greg's message board on the 19th of December, it should be on the marathon's web site by now. (By releasing the list nationally at that point, it may give local sportswriters the opportunity to do the human interest story on them going to Houston and trying to run an Olympic Trials qualifying time.)
Granted, most of the people lining the course won't care who the majority of these runners are. But, if they are slated to be the next Brian Sell and so on, those that promote the sport should be getting this information out.
