Not 100% sure, but wasn't Mark Finucane from another country?

I checked myself and stand corrected. I remembered running against Mark Finucane from East Tennessee at the same time Ray Flynn was there and assumed Mark to be a foreigner with such an "Irish" name.
My bad,

Josh Rohatinsky ran 2:14:23 in New York 2009, which is faster than his debut.
FYI Malmo to update your debut list,
Fastest debut marathon on Sept. 9, 1979. Four days after his 20th birthday. Was a collegiate record at the time. He ran for the University of New Mexico.

Pretty sure Eric Mack ran a sub 2:12 at Chicago a few years back for his debut?
Eric ran 2:12:42 in his debut at Chicago in 2000.
Thanks malmo! David was actually 20 when he ran 2:13:59.

It's been very interesting to read all the stats on debut marathon times. I'd like to add my name to the list - I ran 2:12:47 in my first marathon in January 1983 - also at Houston. I finished 3rd behind Hailu Ebba of Ethiopia and Benji Durden. Different course back then, but Houston has always been a great place to run a fast time, providing the weather cooperates. Congratulations to Brett.

Malmo,
John Tuttle ran debut of 2:14:?? at the Florida Festival; then 2:12:?? in Grandma's & 2:10:51 NY-city 1983
He deserves to be on the list can't find the exact time; he ran it in the Florida Festival Marathon in 1982-83, any help?
What are the updates to this list?
