For the last few years, the most common question for our Committee after race weekend has been, “How are you going to top this year’s event?” In the wake of a 2012 weekend that included nationally televised U.S. Olympic Trials Marathons for both men and women, as well as our annual slate of races where the winners broke the tapes with four record-breaking performances, that question has never been more common or more relevant.
