There is vey little chance that we see Ritz or Hasay.

It is important to understand that they are only on the list because they haven’t fulfilled their responsibilities of last years contracts. It was written into last years contract.

RUPP FAILED IN 2018 AND IS NOT RUNNING IN 2019!!! RIP US MENS MARATHON

Rupp is finished. If he runs again he won't get under 2:10. It will be like Ryan Hall when he ran 2:17 at Boston having done 2:04 before he fell apart

Here is our analysis:

Is Hasay actually going to run?

Why isn’t Molly there?

The "elite" men is even more of a misnomer than Joe Flacco being called and elite QB.

London offered more $$?

She also probably wants a fast time... didn't she or her coach say they thought she could run 2:20 on a flat course?

Might have to watch just to see Wade and Sellers.

Will Hasay actually reach the starting line healthy?

Funny that Ritz is listed at the top based on a vintage PR.

This reminds me of the poster for junior high track & field day I saw on the bulletin board back in the day.

Man, I would LOVE to run 2:06 twice and be called a failure.

Abdi will be the top American - sad for everybody else but you know (deep in your heart of hearts) that this is true.

Very well spoken.

I'm perfectly happy with this. Usually Boston gets EVERYONE. This race & still plenty interesting and we can see what Molly and others are able to do at Tokyo/Rotterdam/London. I love Boston and everything about it but I'm equal parts happy about a chance to see Molly out in 70-flat in a pack this spring.

Will Emily Sisson run London with Molly Huddle ? I thought she would do her debut in Boston

the real question is who would best survive a tropical rainstorm this time

and will the gear companies invent a 22nd century running jacket to survive one

oh I know, imagine a year where no rain but insane wind the opposite direction of 2011 so everyone is going slowly

and I guess Sarah Sellers has 4 months left of appearance fees, use them wisely!

boy, do i wish dathan ritzenhein will go sub 2:10 in this race....
