Sharon Lokedi is your Boston Marathon course record holder as she stopped the Hellen Obiri three-peat. (Article here). John Korir joined his brother Wesley as Boston champ. Is he the #1 in the world? Conner Mantz ran 2:05 but just missed the podium. How does he compare to Bill Rodgers?

Des Linden said farewell to the marathon and we honor her at 1:50:09.

We also talk about high schooler Jane Hedengren's 14:57 5000, Athing Mu's 5000, and Noah Lyles, Fred Kerley and Erriyon Knighton all running 400s.

(Sponsored) Ben is hosting the Flagstaff Coaching Clinic with Greg McMillan & Mike Smith July 10th to 13th in Flagstaff. Clinic is geared toward high school and college coaches as well as those looking to work with professionals. Sign up here.
