Americans miss Olympic marathon spots at Pittsburgh trial
In unseasonably hot and humid weather at Pittsburgh, Rod DeHaven won the men's marathon in 2:15:30 and Christine Clark claimed the women's title in 2:33:31, yielding only two U.S. Olympic berths as both winners failed to meet Sydney qualifying times. Long Distance Running chair Danny Grimes criticized the conditions and USA Track & Field chief Craig Masback urged change after a disappointing showing. The results leave the U.S. with no more than two runners in the Games unless faster qualifiers emerge.
