can't help you with females.
I have the tape of this race somewhere, but have not been able to find it for a couple of years. But, Kempainen won in 2:12:45, Spangler took the women's race in about 2:33 or so (I think). The men's race had 7 guys under 2:15 and 24 guys under 2:20. I got this info from Running Times. I know that's not much, but it's something. Kempainen was super touogh in that race, spewing chunks multiple times while throwing the hammer down late in the race.
Well, I actually found something, here you go.
1996: Charlotte, North Carolina
February 17
Time standard = 2:20:00 (A); 2:22:00 (B)
135 Qualifiers, 116 Starters, 90 Finishers
At the 1996 Olympic Marathon Trials, Bob
Kempainen, a 1992 Olympic marathoner,
brought new meaning to the term "guts" with
his performance. Just past 21 miles, as
Kempainen pulled away from Mark Coogan
and Keith Brantly, he began to vomit. His
second eruption staggered him for a moment,
but he calmly wiped his chin, gathered himself
and incredibly increased his lead.
Despite his distress, he ran the 23rd and 24th
miles in 4:42 and 4:33 respectively which
finally broke Coogan and Brantly.
Kempainen, the fastest U.S. marathoner
(2:08:47 at Boston in '94), maintained his
lead and crossed the finish line in 2:12:45.
Kempainen's gutsy effort earned him another
trip to the Olympics, a record first place
marathon prize ($100,000), a course record
and his first marathon win in seven attempts.
With about 400 meters left, Coogan passed
Brantly, the defending champion, to claim his
trip to Atlanta and $40,000 with a 2:13:05, a
personal record. Brantly, the 1995 USA
Running Circuit champion, captured the final
Olympic berth in 2:13:22 and $30,000.
Perennial national contender, Steve Plasencia
finished fourth (2:14:20), while Marco
Ochoa (seeded #72) followed two seconds
later in 2:14:22. Under cool conditions on a
challenging course, nine runners set personal
records (Coogan, Ochoa, Keith Dowling, Jon
Warren, David Morris, Terrence Mahon,
Craig Woshner, Tom Redding and Steve
Wilson).
