NEW YORK (AP) — Mary
Keitany once tried to win
a New York City Marathon
by surging to a huge lead
from the start.
By staying patient Sunday,
she ensured she’d be far
ahead at the end.
The 33-year-old Kenyan
became the first woman to
repeat in New York since
world-record holder Paula
Radcliffe in 2008. Her mar-
gin of victory of 67 seconds
was also the largest since
Radcliffe that year.
Stanley Biwott won his
first major marathon title
to complete the Kenyan
sweep.
He finished second in Lon-
don last year and had
been upping his mileage in
training to ensure he didn’t

past.

and I believe in the pro-
gram,” the 29-year-old Bi-
wott said.
