Today the 2012 USA Olympic Marathon Trails were held at the Chevron Houston Marathon down in Texas. It was a very speedy and fast day as four Americans went under 2:10:00 for the first time ever during the same marathon.
American male Meb Keflezighi won the Houston Marathon with the fastest time of 2:09:08 which is a new personal record (PR) for Meb.
Ryan Hall finished in a close 2nd place at 2:09:30.
2012 USA Olympic Marathon Trials Male Results
- Meb Keflezighi – 2:09:08
- Ryan Hall – 2:09:30
- Abdi Abdirahman – 2:09:47
- Dathan Ritzenhein – 2:09:55
- Brett Gotcher – 2:11:06
It looks like it will be Meb, Ryan, Abdi representing the USA at the Olympics with Dathan as the 1st alternative.
Shalane Flanagan was the female winner as she held off Desiree Davila to finish with a time of 2:25:38. Flanagan moves to 6-0 in the head-to-head matchup with Davila to date.
That means Flanagan, Davila, and Goucher will represent in the Olympics with Hastings as the alternate.
