More About Brian Shrader: 

His 2019 season has been less consistent, with a series of DNFs, including at the 2019 Boston Marathon where he tore through the half on 2:10 pace, but the wheels fell off after the 30K, and he dropped out after the 35K mark. He performed well at the B.A.A. 10K two months later, but dropped out of the 10,000m at the U.S. track and field national championships. Shrader runs with the Freedom Track Club out of Boston and is coached by 2004 Olympian Tim Broe.
