Eddy
Hellebuyck, 42, of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
ran 1:05:12, and just missed a new American masters
record for the half marathon distance. (John Tuttle,
of Georgia, ran 1:05:11 at Indy Life in 1999.)
Hellebuyck set an American masters record at the
marathon distance last weekend when he was the
overall champion at Twin Cities in Minnesota (2:12:47).
This year, he has established masters division
records at the following distances: 5K, 10K, 15K,
10-mile, and marathon. Hellebuyck was the top
American at this year's Boston Marathon, finishing
tenth.
