Conner Mantz finishes 11th in New York City Marathon

Conner Mantz, a former BYU runner, placed 11th in the New York City Marathon on October 29, 2026, finishing with a time of 2:07:27. This marathon marked his first time out of the top eight in major events since the 2023 Boston Marathon. Mantz, who had recently set the American record in the Chicago Marathon, struggled despite starting strong with the lead pack but fell off after 21 miles due to pacing issues and hydration stops. Aiden Troutner, Mantz's former teammate, finished 14th at 2:08:54. Mantz attributed his performance to mental and physical challenges stemming from previous injuries.
