Ryan Hall seems to have been born a marathoner; setting a new debut, American record in London - and now running to a 26 second lead after 20 miles in the most competitive U.S. Olympic Men’s Marathon trials in History.
Hall hit the 20 mile mark in 4:34.
Ritz is in second and Dan Browne trails him by about 10 seconds.
Abdi, who had been in 5th after 18 miles, has dropped out of the race with an injury.
Meb, the reigning Olympic marathon silver medalist, is in 5th place.
Reports indicate that Gilmore has also dropped out; as did Alan Culpepper several miles ago.
