        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?
