To make Mantz’s run even more impressive - is there a bit of a headwind? Looks like it from the weather forecast

Men's chase pack of Mantz, Kotut and Samba through 40k on 2:04:53 pace

Mantz is running one of greatest American races ever. STFU.

Does anyone know when Wrigley Field opened?

dropping out is not in conner's dna

Assuming this isn’t ironic, it’s because no one cares about running

COME ON CONNAH

C'MON CONNER!!

Go Conner!!

Seriously ESPN needs two broadcasts:

1 Crappy feed for tv (exactly what they're doing now)

1 Interactive feed with stats that you can click on streaming. Toggle back and forth on the races. Think NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube

"The last five years, the top American man finished no higher than seventh."

Go Mantz!

Come on Conner have a kick

Sub 2:05 and 2nd place would be awesome

GO CONNER!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

He needs a sub 4:45 last mile if these splits are accurate

Connor checking his watch, its over for these other two.

Rory is still running strong.

Mantz is such a gamer. Guts in every workout, every race. Down to earth in his interviews, rarely talks too big a game but almost always shows up. Whether or not he tops Hall's wind-aided 2:04, this top American performance will already be worlds ahead of whiny Scott Fauble's previous finishes. Mantz is looking to podium – may fall short, but he is crushing it in his own right.
