London = Y-squared + Kipruto & Bekele; Mantz Mania & Sisson in Chicago + Tuohy NCAA Favorite

2 years ago

Yalemzerf Yehualaw crushed the 24th and 25th miles to get the win and London and show she is a natural-born marathoner while Amos Kipruto blasted a 4:21 25th mile to get the win, as Kenenisa Bekele showed his career is not over as he ran with the leaders until 5 miles to go and broke the masters world record.

The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is this week and Conner Mantz and Emily Sisson are getting a lot of the attention. More reaction to the World Marathon Majors slashing their prize pool. Plus Fiona O'Keefe and Hillary Bor got their first US road titles, Katelyn Tuohy solidified her status as the NCAA favorite, and some very disturbing allegations versus Nick Johnson and Huntington University.
