Mizuno's Craig Leon's Big Breakthrough at Boston
by Bob "Wish" Wischnia on May 3, 2013
Going into the 2013 Boston Marathon, Craig Leon was just another anonymous American marathoner with minor-league credentials.So much for anonymity. In the space of just a few hours, Leon, a 29-year-old from small town Ohio who now lives in Eugene and PR'ed in 2:14:38 at Boston, did more interviews than he had in the entirety of his running his career--combined.Just as impressive as his PR, Leon, who had never placed high in a national-class race, finished 10th and was the third American at the tragically historic Boston.Even though the horrific events of ...

Post Race Boston Marathon Interview With Craig Leon
by Ron Wayne on April 18, 2013
Mizuno Racing Team Member, Craig Leon, placed 10th (3rd American) in Monday's Boston Marathon. I caught up with Craig today for a post race interview.This was your first Boston Marathon.
