I was guessing that Coach Squires has coached more sub 2:20 American marathoners than any other coach but maybe someone like Salazar or Mahon have more? I would like to know how long Coach Squires can hold of these guys?

Coach Squires has more than Salazar and Mahon and Hudson and Shumacher combined.

Dennis Barker/Team USA MN has coached the following sub-2:20 marathoners since 2001:

Jason Lehmkuhle

Chris Lundstrom

Chad Johnson (before he went to Hansons)

Antonio Vega

Matt Gabrielson

Zach Schendel

I might be forgetting some others not on Team MN now or in the past

How many have the Hansons Brothers coached?

I'm going to try and research this as well, so don't tell em to google this.

I think I got it. From the site itself:

Hansons

1. Brian Sell 2:10:47 Chicago 2006

2. Trent Briney 2:12:24 U S Trials-AL 2004

3. Nick Arciniaga 2:13:46 New York 2009

4. Clint Verran 2:14:12 Boston 2006

5. Mike Morgan 2:14:55 Chicago 2010

6. Chad Johnson 2:15:03 Chicago 2006

7. Kyle O'Brien 2:15:13 Chicago 2006

8. Luke Humphrey 2:15:22 Chicago 2006

9. Pat Rizzo 2:15:48 Chicago 2009

10. Mike Reneau 2:16:20 Chicago 2008

11. Jeff Campbell 2:16:25 Birmingham, AL 2003

12. Drew Polley 2:16:36 Boston 2010

13. Marty Rosendahl 2:17:05 Chicago 2006

14. Nick Cordes 2:17:17 Cal International 2004

15. Chris Wehrman 2:17:49 Detroit 2001

16. Patrick Moulton 2:18:35 U S Trials-New York 2007

17. Ben Rosario 2:18:55 Cal International 2004

18. Dave Ernsberger 2:18:56 Chicago 2006

19. Tim Young 2:19:01 Chicago, IL 2010

20. Sage Cananday 2:19:18 Chicago, IL 2010

21. Josh Eberly 2:19:28 Chicago, IL 2005

17. Todd Snyder 2:19:55 Boston, MA 2009

18. Carl Rundell 2:19:58 Birmingham, AL 2003

That is a pretty impressive list. Getting close to twice as many as any other US coach in the history of the American Marathon. I believe that GBTC had about a dozen back in the day but not adding many nowadays.

Do you have a link to the site?

Also I saw something about a Hansen's marathon program.

Does anyone have a link to it?

Sevene, if we're being picky.

I'm not sure I would consider taking a 14' 5000m guy to a 2:19 marathon a sign of outstanding coaching. If your athletes can't run a marathon in 10x their respective 5000m bests, you're actually rather dismal as marathon coach.

List them along with their times and where they took place. Otherwise it is just talk.
