Thanks! A buddy of mine was running and hoping for a big day; I see he was top 10 with a pr... just made my day!
On the women's side Maegan Krifchin (1:09:53), Neely Gracey (1:09:59), and Alisha Williams (1:10:31) with big PRs.
Great to see Krifchin back in form. She was on the upswing a couple of years ago, out of nowhere, but seems to have dealt with injuries and coaching changes ever since.
69:53 is BIG.
She ran a 2:33 marathon last year, probably as she was still just coming back into form. Excited to see what she's capable of.
Who is coaching her now? It looks as if she is with a group called Riadha, in Maryland or DC, but hard to tell who the coach is.

I assume since Caroline Rotich is in the group they're all coached by Ryan Bolton, but I have no idea if that's true.
... But here's an article on the race:
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/on-the-run/Tim-Ritchie-wins-2015-Rock-n-Roll-Half-Marathon.html
From the article:"Tim Ritchie of Brighton, Mass. won the 13.1-mile race with an unofficial time of 1:01:22 and punched his ticket to the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Averaging a 5:07 minute per mile pace, Ritchie beat out Jacob Riley by two minutes." I take it that mathematics was not Kelly O'Shea's (the writer) strong suit in college. Regardless, a big improvement for Ritchie and another guy who will have to be reckoned with in the trials.

A terrific performance by Tim Ritchie. If I understand correctly, this ranks him 11th US male half-marathoner of all time. [In the list below I've mentioned each runner once, with their fastest time.]

Maegan Krifchin coached by Isaya Okiwyo in DC area, training with Serena Burla, Lindsay Flanagan part of Mizuno. Nice to see her back, from Long Island
For the women as well it would put Krifchin 9th and Spence 11th for US Women all time

Tim is true blue collar. Great person and great story.
Pull Trafeh off that list but add George Malley 61:43Ritchie is the second sub-4:00 miler on the list, after Rupp. if I have it right.

I think they meant 4:40 pace
Edit: sorry about the malmo add, misread the seconds for Ritchie. He is now #10

Wow, look at all those potential sub 2:10 guys.
Wow, Neely SG crushed it -- I think this is only her 3rd Half marathon (all this year) and she's gone 72 to 69. Sweet! Love watching her. She so awesome.
Where is krifchin from. Never heard of her?
What about Kara?
