...battle Heartbreak Hill and the strain of running without a break for three hourse. Bill Kraus, a Lowell House senior, is a sure bet to lead the Crimson contingent. He ran last year and turned in an impressive 2:39.05 to finish 79th. Kraus ran in the Silver Lake Marathon (Hopkinton to Newton, a course similar to the BAA race) in February and finished with a 2:50 and 11th-place position in near-blizzard conditions. The Akron, Ohio resident says he's looking to run the Marathon today in a time under...

Wuest has been running for three years and trained heavily for the past two months. After a 3:04 time in the Silver Marathon in Lowell last month, he modestly aspires to a sub-three-hour effort...
