Nico Montañez was the fifth-fastest American at 2023 Boston Marathon!
He was the fifth-fastest American at this year’s Boston Marathon, where he finished 13th overall. He ran a sub-five-minute mile pace.
Nico worked with Bentley and coach Al Buhl, who passed away in 2013, at St. Augustine Catholic High School. “Coach Buhl, really amazing guy… He saw my potential long before I could see it. And then you add Coach Tim Bentley into the mix and that was a wrap. It was like, guys who cared more about me than my running.”“I’m more proud of these kids that we coached there and the success they have as adults,” said Bentley. “They wanted to be great. And you know, that became our mantra after a while: ‘Be Great.’ And that became much more than just, ‘Be great at running.’ It was, ‘Be great at life.
“I’m trying to beat myself,” he explained. “I’m trying to beat my old habits. My old pain. My old things that have held me back for so long...Even at my stage, like no matter what pace you’re running… you have to fight demons out there. Because there is a voice saying ‘Slow Down.’”
