    Our current sub 2:10ers:
    Keflezghi: 40 years old but ultra consistent
    Ritzenhein: 33 years old by trials, fragile but tough if he isn't broken
    Hall: 33 years old by trails, we all know his struggles of late

    This does not seem like great marathon depth.

    Ya know, I think the best performance by a US-born man @ Chicago is still David Morris' 2:09:32 (1999). Can anybody confirm?
