U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon Trials History: 1968 to 2000

Since 1968, the U.S. Olympic marathon team
has been selected at the Trials race. The top
three earned coveted spots on the team (in
recent Olympics, provided Olympic "A"
standards were met). Before 1968, the U.S.
Olympic marathoners were selected based on
a series of marathon races. The history of the
U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, albeit short,
is rich and storied. 1972 Olympic gold
medalist and 1976 Olympic silver medalist in
the marathon, Frank Shorter is the only man
to finish first in consecutive U.S. Olympic
Marathon Trials. In 1984, Pete Pfitzinger had
the lead, lost the lead in the last mile and
reclaimed the lead to win. At the 1988 Trials
race, Mark Conover pulled a major upset
with a stunning victory, while in 1996, Bob
Kempainen won the race and a berth on his
second Olympic team despite throwing up
several times in the latter stages of the race.

Pete Pfitzinger, a relative unknown, broke
away from the field just past the halfway
point and built a 150 meter lead. In the last
mile, John Tuttle passed Pfitzinger and then
Alberto Salazar passed both of them. In the
final 400 meters, Pfitzinger found another
gear and passed Tuttle and overcame Salazar,
the race favorite, in the last meters. At the
Olympics in Los Angeles, the Trials champion
was the top American, 11th in 2:13:53.

Mark Conover surprised the field and the

Eyestone took control of the race after 17
miles and worked together over the final
miles. With a mile remaining, Conover who
came into the Trials race with a 2:18:03 qualifier
pulled away from Eyestone for the stunning
victory. 1984 Trials winner Pete
Pfitzinger surged late to earn the final
Olympic spot.

Under warm, windy conditions, Bill
Reifsnyder and Keith Brantly tried to run
away with the Trials race, but near 22 miles,
the trio of Steve Spence, Ed Eyestone and
Bob Kempainen caught the duo. Spence, the
1991 World Championships marathon bronze
medalist, used a 4:49 26th mile to win the
race in 2:12:43, a trip to Barcelona, Spain and
$58,000. Eyestone, a 1988 Olympic
marathoner, secured his second Olympic
berth with his second place performance
(2:12:51), while Kempainen who overcame
injury surprised the field by earning the third
and final U.S. Olympic marathon team position.

At the 1996 Olympic Marathon Trials, Bob
Kempainen, a 1992 Olympic marathoner,
brought new meaning to the term "guts" with
his performance. Just past 21 miles, as
Kempainen pulled away from Mark Coogan
and Keith Brantly, he began to vomit. His
second eruption staggered him for a moment,
but he calmly wiped his chin, gathered himself
and incredibly increased his lead.
Despite his distress, he ran the 23rd and 24th
miles in 4:42 and 4:33 respectively which
finally broke Coogan and Brantly.
Kempainen, the fastest U.S. marathoner
(2:08:47 at Boston in '94), maintained his
lead and crossed the finish line in 2:12:45.
Kempainen's gutsy effort earned him another
trip to the Olympics, a record first place
marathon prize ($100,000), a course record
and his first marathon win in seven attempts.
With about 400 meters left, Coogan passed
Brantly, the defending champion, to claim his
trip to Atlanta and $40,000 with a 2:13:05, a
personal record. Brantly, the 1995 USA
Running Circuit champion, captured the final
Olympic berth in 2:13:22 and $30,000.
Perennial national contender, Steve Plasencia
finished fourth (2:14:20), while Marco
Ochoa (seeded #72) followed two seconds
later in 2:14:22. Under cool conditions on a
challenging course, nine runners set personal
records (Coogan, Ochoa, Keith Dowling, Jon
Warren, David Morris, Terrence Mahon,
Craig Woshner, Tom Redding and Steve
Wilson).

Like the Women's Trials race in Columbia, the
U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon Trials faced difficult
weather conditions and a challenging course.
At the start, the temperature was 61 degrees and
the humidity 84 percent and as the day progressed
it got worse. After several frontrunners, Peter
DeLaCerda pushed the pace at 15 miles and went
for a sub 2:14 time (the Olympic "A" standard).
After 20 miles, Rod DeHaven began to gain on
DeLaCerda as his lead shrunk to 23 seconds. At
mile 22, DeHaven cut DeLaCerda's lead to just 8
seconds. At 1:55:28 into the race, DeHaven took
the lead from the Alamosa, Colo. resident who did
not respond to the move.
DeLaCerda, however, began a comeback
during the 24th mile, running just 2 seconds
behind the third fastest qualifier. DeHaven,
33, from Madison, Wisc. responded and
picked up the pace with a 4:56 mile, stretching
his lead to 13 seconds over DeLaCerda.
The computer programmer continued to
stretch his lead and won easily in 2:15:30.
DeLaCerda finished second in 2:16:18, with
1996 Olympian Mark Coogan 3rd in 2:17:04.
"It was a race of attrition, and that's the way
it was. I'm ecstatic but in a sad way because
I'm the only one (who qualified for the
Olympics). It's a bittersweet feeling," said the
South Dakota State graduate.
Three men in the top 10 set personal records:
DeLaCerda, Stolz and Campbell.
1) Rod DeHaven (WI) 2:15:30 $75,000*
2) Peter DeLaCerda (CO) 2:16:18 $25,000
