Jared Ward is back!

When will he finally break 2:10 though? Lucky for him only Rupo is capable of that.

Cornball dude worshipping a white capitalist God eternally chasing 212 times. Not a fan!!!

Back to where? The sub- sub elite standard he always was (and don't chime in with that Olympics place nonsense)?

Also, Jared is just a horrible, horrible name.

Don't chime in about the Olympics because it refutes his opinion

I beat Jerad in the 2010 NYC Marathon.

I think he stopped to get a kiss from a 12 year old Hassidim girl in Brooklyn, and I passed him while he was distracted.

Now he's in Jail. I heard he gained some weight and is no longer a competitive hobby jogger/corporate spokesperson.

He is far from sub-elite. He just placed 6th in a world major marathon. Fact is that he did place 6th at the rio Olympics. He beat plenty of other world class athletes that day as well as today. His time of 2:12:25 makes him the second fastest american marathoner this year. On a course as slow as NYC? He's a great athlete and has a lot left in him. Heck, he gets paid to run. He is a pro athlete. He is very elite. He was injured in 2017 and most of 2018 and now he's back.

Good to see, he's one of the good guys.

He also is the only statistics professor with a syllabus that only a marathoner could appreciate:

1) ANOVA

2) MANOVA

3) CANOVA

God Bess Jared Ward & Family

Are you mentally sound?

Clever! As another poster wrote, I believe that Jared is one of the good guys. It amazes me that he can run so while will teaching stats and being with his wife and kids.

While I am a Ward fan and you are obviously being silly with “sub-sub-elite” nonsense, I do *kind of* see your point about the Olympics. When the Kenyans and Ethiopians are limited to running only a handful of athletes, it isn’t really that huge of an event.

If the top 200 marathoners in the world were all to run the same race, Ward would not be top 50 and that’s just the plain truth. No American would outside of Rupp. Think of all of the “B-lister” Kenyans winning races in 2:07-2:09 seemingly every weekend. Mind boggling.

I'm a fan of the American marathoners but unfortunately we just aren't that good at the world class level. I hope Ward does well and Rupp too. The chances of us winning an Olympic medal in 2020 are quite low.

"UNFAIR advantage" you must have a TURD for a brain! Do you even wash your underwear?

I know Jared Ward and you're obviously no Jared Ward. He's a very decent human being -- a true gentleman who is very personable, hard working, and an extremely well-balanced individual.

I wish him the very best going forward. He has a great wife and family and a great coach in Ed Eyestone who will all help him continue to improve for at least another 5 years IMO.

Looks like Ward was actually the first legit finisher. Without doping, the East Africans have nothing. They'd be at best like Biwott.

Way to stir up the Mormons on the board dude. They're all nice and polite until you call them out on the hokey religion

Jared Ward should be sponsored by Hoka

The heck is a TUR? Also, Saucony is very underrated and needs to sponsor more people. And why do we have to turn this post about Jared Ward into a religious witch-hunt?

Oh great. Another 2:12 marathon by an American.

Jared does well when the field has a limited number of Africans in it. Kinda like Meb. NYC and Boston have especially watered down their fields in recent years to give Americans a chance. It's good for media and sponsors.

It's Sunday. The Mormons aren't supposed to engage in secular activities on the sabbath. It's all church stuff on Sundays for them.

Back and running 2:12s. Not elite.
