Top 10 D3 Marathon times

Derrick “Ringo” Adamson from Glassboro State (now Rowan) ran 2:16:39 Philadelphia 1984 which is still the Jamaican National record (he was a two time Olympian for Jamaica 1984 and 1988)

Paul McGovern 2:17

Paul won the 5k, 10k & steeple at the conference meet then pitched for the baseball team at Fitchburg State (all on the same day).

Someone revived this old thread, so I just saw this. Is this for real? Super impressive.

Sage Canada 2:19 (Cornell)

Who cares? It's DIII. Get over yourselves.

Yeah, I was there. On top of that, he was a great guy. Never went to his head.

Cornell Iowa?

Same, we also need a list of sub-2:45 or 2:40 D3 women. I'm also curious to know if anybody ran sub-2:20 or 2:40 without running in college at all. Any club runners make the mark? & I'm not talking about people who quit a D1/2/3 team and was super talented.

For the women side of things, Lenore Moreno would be one that would be pretty high on that list I would think. 2:37:43 and 13th at the 2016 trials.

Will Cross had one heck of a debut at Chicago last year with a 2:17:33

Paul Mausling ran 2:15:37 placing second in the 1983 Twin Cities Marathon. He ran for Macalester College and was a 3-time D3 All American in cross county and 5-time D3 All-American in track. Not sure if he won any national titles in track. He took 2nd in 1980 cross county nationals even though hindered by a screwy starting line. He took 3rd at the national meet the previous year. Jack Kruse of Glassboro State and Alan Treffinger of Millersville State ran in the 84 Olympic Marathon Trials too, so they both ran under 2:19 to qualify. Dave Miller was mentioned in a previous post and he ran in the 84 trials as well.

Well Noah Droddy's 2:09 is pretty prolific regardless of divison.

I remember finding this thread a couple years ago. I wonder if it's possible to get a list together of people under the current OTQ standards. We had 27 men and 18 women that came from D3 colleges who ran under 2:18/2:37. Has to be a bit of a crapshoot to get a list of people who ran between 2:18-20/2:37-2:40 at this point.

Also, if you don’t think that collision was head on, you are dumb. The hood was untouched, sure. But the tree was in the ditch, and the car could have absolutely been on 2 wheels. There’s some side impact, but windshield & roof is CLEARLY slammed to the rear
