On Monday, former Ducks Galen Rupp and Jordan Hasay will toe the starting line of the 122nd Boston Marathon in Hopkinton with dreams of golden wreaths awaiting them at the finish line. This year’s field is absolutely stacked with talent, especially on the women’s side.
In 2014, Men Keflezighi became the first American to win at Boston since Greg Meyer in 1983. However, the women's drought is still active. An American woman hasn't won at Boston since Lisa Larsen Weidenbach back in 1985. But this year’s field is so loaded with talent, it could be the best chance yet that we’ve seen for an American woman to break the tape.
