Biography

Bumbalough set course records on virtually every course he ran on during his career. A three-time Division II state champion, he broke the state’s 23-year-old course record as a senior, his time of 14:14 winning the race by more than a full minute. Bumbalough also won three state track titles – twice in the 3,200 and once in the 1,600.

The 2004 Foot Locker National Championships runnerup, Bumbalough shattered by 11 seconds the course record held by a former NHSCA Senior Athlete of the Year – Alan Webb – in the South Regional, and his qualifying time of 14:32 was more than one minute faster than any other runner in the nation. He will attend Georgetown University.

While at Georgetown he was the 2008 NCAA Indoor Runner Up in the Men’s 3000 meters and anchored Georgetown’s 5th-place relay team.

Since his time at Georgetown Bumbalough has continued to run. Most recently, he took 5th place at the 2018 Boston Marathon with a time of 2:19:52.
