Mary Ngugi-Cooper (110/NGUGI-COOPER) is the last sub-2:20 seed. She’s been second in Boston before (2021) and a perennial face in the pack at several Majors over the last several year, but no big wins yet. She knows the Boston course and how Boston gets run, but if she has the tactical tools to win, she hasn’t used them so far.

Other names to note: Sara Hall (111/HALL) has a 2:20:32 PR, but that’s from 2020 and Hall is likely to be running for the masters title. Calli Hauger-Thackery (114/HAUGER-THACKERY) has a great resume but is also four or five months pregnant. Most of the women who represented the USA at the Paris Olympics are here: Sisson, Dakotah Popehn (125/POPEHN), and alternate Jess McClain (118/MCCLAIN). (Fiona O’Keeffe was entered, but withdrew Sunday.)
