He placed seventh, same as when he was the first American in 2022.
For the second consecutive year, Scott Fauble was the top U.S. man at the Boston Marathon. He placed seventh in 2:09:44, one place and 21 seconds behind world record-holderMatthew McDonald was the second U.S. finisher, placing tenth in 2:10:17, an improvement over his 14th-place finish here last year. Conner Mantz was the third U.S. man across the line, placing 11th in 2:10:25.
Unlike Mantz and Albertson, Fauble chose to hold back when Kipchoge set off at course-record pace. He hit a tough patch at halfway, which he passed in 1:03:59 as part of a nine-man chase pack. The leaders were 1 minute and 40 seconds ahead. “I didn’t know where the leaders were, I didn’t know what place I was in, my legs didn’t feel good,” Fauble said. “I made a deal with myself: ‘You’re going to try as hard as you can every step of this race.’ I figured I might as well go and risk blowing up and hope the legs are there and that I can run some people down.”Fauble, who has also been the top U.S. finisher at New York City by moving up late in the race, said his come-from-behind strategy made sense today.
After losing touch in the 16th mile, Mantz, who has a 2:08:16 PR from his debut in Chicago last fall, was still thinking he’d run 2:08 or faster late in the race. “Mile 23, I passed Kipchoge, and that was pretty cool,” he said. “I kind of waved, like, sit on me, we can take turns leading each other. Instead, he just flew by me. At mile 24, I started blacking out a little. I just hit a wall.”
