Nicholas ‘Nick’ Arciniaga is the 2013 U. S. National Champion in the marathon, after securing that title last year with a well-earned win at the Twin Cities Marathon. Earlier in the year he finished top American and seventh overall in Los Angeles in rainy conditions. Arciniaga has run in two U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials improving respectively in both time and place. In Houston at the 2012 Trials, he ran a near personal best of 2:11:56 to finish eighth. Arciniaga made his marathon debut in Chicago in 2006, and has since found the podium three times: San Diego, Houston and Twin Cities. He has placed top-ten at two World Marathon Majors: New York (8th) and Boston (10th). In his 2008 Boston appearance, he was also the first American man to cross the finish line.
Arciniaga runs with Team USA Arizona, is coached by Greg McMillan and lives in Flagstaff. He was born in Fountain Valley, California, and graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2006 with a BA in accounting.
