I'd like to start a women's list for WNY performers under 2:54. Please post any thoughts / names / results that I can look into or compile.
my scoring cutoff is arbitrary but in case you're wondering:
women's 2:54 is 908 points per WA scoring tables.
men's 2:25 is 909 points.

As always please don't hesitate to post any corrections or additions. Women's list is incoming, I forgot about it for a while but today's updates reminded me of it.
2 Updates:
- Steve Haagsma's 2022 race is added (thanks Greg, should've been on there a while ago. The official results show a slightly different time but still inside my arbitrary benchmark)
- Joe Whelan's new PR from yesterday's 2025 Boston Marathon now listed, he is still #2 for this list.
men's criteria:
- sub 2:25 performance
- from, or strongly connected to, WNY
Mark Finucane 2:11:55 1984 Houston Marathon
