This is in the context of Olympic qualification. Today I believe you need to run under 2 hours 11.5 minutes to qualify.

Yep!

That's a top 50 on Madrid Marathon and a Top 500 (out of 45000 finishers) for the New York Marathon.

I'd say that's pretty nice! I mean, not Olympic (or maybe yes, depending on the country), but pretty solid.

You're right. An awful lot of good recreational runners would be delighted by that time.
