Congrats to Nick Arciniaga, who ran a fine pb at the 2010 RNR San Diego marathon today!
Flagstaff’s
Nick Arciniaga dropped his marathon personal best by nearly two minutes
in route to finishing 3rd at the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon – the
highest finish by an American in the history of the event. His time of
2:11:47 (5:01 per mile) over the 26.2 mile course was a significant
improvement over his breakthrough 8th place finish (in 2:13:46) at the
2009 ING New York City Marathon. Today’s Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego
Marathon performance follows quickly on the heels of his Bronze Medal
performance at the US 25K Championships (held May 8th), where he and
teammates Andrew Carlson (Gold) and Brett Gotcher (Silver) swept the
medal stand.
