Jake Riley Status?

You can see what he's doing on Strava, even if we assume he is extraordinarily well heat prepared it sure doesn't look anything like Olympic team making training.

I cant find him on there just a college kid with that name running 70mpw

No chance. He's too big to be a top marathoner unless the weather is cold, which won't happen again.

No. I knew he was in trouble in preparation for the last Olympics. He was running all o it just to run simple workouts

Is Jake Riley update?

Well, that's why they run the OT race.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Jake Riley doesn’t have the OTQ does he? I don’t see him on the list of qualifiers. 2:18 and change in Berlin in 2023 and 2:30 in Boston in 2022. Does he have an automatic entry from top 3 last trials? Or does his 2:16 at the Olympics qualify him?

Being a member of the 2020 Olympic team qualifies him.

USA Track & Field | 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Marathon Qualifications

Open link

An athlete is eligible for “automatic qualification” (USATF Rule 8) if that athlete has accomplished the following:

• Placing 1st at either the 2022 USATF Marathon Championship or the 2023 USATF Marathon Championship
• Earned an individual medal in the 2022 World Athletics Championships Marathon or 2023 World Athletics Championships Marathon
• Was a member of the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Team

0 chance.

Seach Jacob Riley and you will find him.

Not sure if the question mark is needed

Yikes, he's not ready.

The qualification methods of the US is wild. How this dude went to the Olympics is unreal.

Dude crushed it in Atlanta. Now go back to trying to break 3

He beat every American Marathoner except Rupp on Feb 29, 2020 -that's how. Dude is currently still rebuilding from some massive injuries and just doesn't have enough time before the trials, but he can probably be pretty good for a fall 2024 marathon.

The US Trials are geared toward elite hobbyjoggers, which is both awesome, and tragic.

Kiptum is going to run a legit sub-2 at Rotterdam, 700 Japanese guys run 2:08 or better every year, and we get excited when one of our guys runs near the women's world record time.

This comment is by a coach or agent. Already predicting failure but telling us how much better he will be come fall. Also probably trying to get a deal at Chicago or New York.
