Bowerman Track Club's Chris Derrick announced on Twitter today he has decided to not enter the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials this February.
Derrick considered making his marathon debut after qualifying for the trials at the Jacksonville half marathon running 1:03:41 on January 3rd.
After dealing with a setback and missing some training in an already short build up, Jerry and I have decided to not pursue the OT marathon.

Im very excited about my future in the marathon, but right now it makes the most sense to focus on the upcoming track season.
