Lexington Runners at the Boston Marathon.

The Lexington Herald-Leader had a run down of all the Kentucky runners in the Boston Marathon on Tuesday. I didn't see the article, so I am not exactly sure what they had to say. Here's a link they have on their website from Sunday that included all the registered runners for the race: Kentuckians in the Boston Marathon

I pulled this list of Lexington runners off the Boston Marathon website Tuesday morning:

Chris Grecco - 2:48:04 (Chris was also the first Kentucky runner listed)

Gerald Thompson - 3:09:55

Bruce Rector - 3:10:06

Thomas Goldsby - 3:10:30

Sherwin Collins - 3:22:57

Amy Klein - 3:24:39

Julie Thornhill - 3:25:48 **

Carol Miles - 3:29:34 **

Bruce Edelen - 3:29:51

Jim Pierce - 3:34:06 **

Bethany Baker - 3:38:35 **

William DeVillier - 3:41:50

Liz Moore - 3:43:00

Dee Ann Miller - 3:44:00 **

Lisa Dahl - 3:44:04

Delaine Thiel - 3:47:49 **

Beth Headley - 4:21:14 **

David Cravens - 4:41:13

Virgil Johnson - 3:25:38 (from Versailles but runs with us at Todd's Road)

** Denotes runners that run with us from John's on Tuesday / Thursday mornings. There are a couple names that I don't recognize, so they may be runners that run with the Saturday group from Magee's. I'm not sure.

How does Lexington compare to other cities?

I wanted to see how many total runners Lexington had compared to other cities. The cities I chose as the comparison group are not significant for any reason other than my curiosity.

Lexington, Kentucky - 20 runners
Boulder, Colorado - 56 runners
Lincoln, Nebraska - 9 runners
Madison, Wisconsin - 43 runners
Austin, Texas - 108 runners
Bend, Oregon - 6 runners
Knoxville, Tennesse - 18 runners

All in all, it looks like it was a good day for the Kentucky and Lexington runners. Nice job everyone.
