Ranking The Best American Marathoners Heading Into The 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials

We put out our first 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials power rankings right after Boston, about a week before Vinny Mauri ran 2:05:55 in his marathon debut at Glass City. Whoops. This time, we waited until after New York. Valencia is still on the calendar, so check back in a month and we might already have some explaining to do.

For this edition of the CITIUS MAG Podcast, I’m joined by Rory Linkletter of the Out & Back Podcast for a crossover episode. I spend my weekends watching these races and probably too much time scrolling through athletes’ Strava. Rory has trained with some of the contenders, raced others, and spent his college years at BYU alongside Clayton Young and Conner Mantz. Neither of us can remember either field being this deep. So we’re going 15 deep on each side again and working under the assumption that there will be three Olympic spots up for grabs in each race.

We had a hard enough time agreeing on 15. Good luck picking three.
