Not trying to bash the runner that did the 2:25 at boston but how far back do you have to go for the year that a slower first American finish time was recored. Also did the first usa get money today? what about 13th place overall

I heard that he picked up $1,800.
Great payday for him.
Too bad for all those Americans faster than him who were either too tired from the trials or didn't feel like running Boston.
the BAA site said $1,800 for 13th.
in 1995, (current UNC distance coach) mike whittlesey was the first american running 2:28 and change.
Didn't 2:31 get first American last year?
eddy ran 2:17:18 for 10th
ken pliska ran 2:30:12 for 22nd
