I'll appear on KARK by phone tonight to discuss the Boston Marathon and the Arkansans who participated. The top Arkansan was John Pankey of Hot Springs, who finished with a 2:48 (also the only sub-3 hour Arkansan). 27 Arkansans finished -- we had fewer finishers than any other state except South Dakota and Wyoming (there were more runners from Belgium and Hong Kong than Arkansas). I did run into Jill Hudson of Benton in Athlete's Village prior to the race this morning. Here's more from KARK (with video).
