Nathan Martin, arguably the most underrated American distance runner, just finished 7th at the Olympic Marathon Trials in an impressive 2:11:00. This was the third marathon trials that Nathan has run in and it was his best yet. His career has flown under the radar for nearly a decade. He set an NAIA record with a 2:19 marathon at the college national championships, finished on the podium at several USATF national championships, and even been top-10 at that NYC Marathon. Not only that, Nathan is the fastest US born African-American man to ever run the marathon!
