Ended up finishing 26th. Looks like he had some company for awhile going through the half in 1:09 high, but incredible effort to pick off so many elite runners over the second half. OTQ for him as well, very impressive.

Was this a big PR? If so, even more props. I was i think 3rd-ish red bib runner and congratulating the guy who beat me it turned out we'd PR'd by something like 20 minutes combined.
Congrats to Stephen! I'm from the same town as him, and can attest that puts in huge amounts of work. He beat a lot of the more accomplished runners from the area with great training and perfect pacing. I believe this was a nearly 4 minute (and well deserved) PR.
He was throwing some shade at BAA a couple weeks ago. Looks justified now.
proving, once and for all, that it *IS* possible to run a marathon on pure hate. Well done lad, well done.
Outstanding maneuver.
