Nick Arciniaga the 2:11 marathoner

At the 2011 Houston Marathon Nick Arciniaga surprised some when the "pacer" stayed in the race to run his second 2:11 marathon. After a disappointing fall marathon in Chicago, Nick Arciniaga had a quick turn around to get geared up for Houston. Now a solid 2:11 guy, Nick looks to the Olympic Trials next winter where he hopes to make his first Olympic Team. He also has a shot to make this summer's World Championship Marathon team after his performance in Houston. Nick most recently ran at the 2011 Payton Jordan Invitational where he ran the USA Qualifying Standard for 10k by a second with his 28:29.
