Boston Marathon: Confidence Picks Featuring Galen Rupp & Shalane Flanagan
Here are five Boston Marathon confidence picks involving Galen Rupp, Shalane Flanagan, Edna Kiplagat, and Shadrack Biwott.
We are six days away from the 2018 Boston Marathon, and the entry list leaves much for American distance running to be confident about. Galen Rupp returns after finishing second in 2017, and Shalane Flanagan, Molly Huddle, Desiree Linden, and Jordan Hasay give the U.S. a legitimate shot to make history in the women’s race.
Here are five confidence picks about this year's race.
