New York City Upsets, World Marathon Majors Expansion, AOY Controversy

1 month ago

Abdi Nageeye and Sheila Chepkirui got the upsets wins at the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon and we break them down.

Conner Mantz led the American men and Sara Vaughn the American women as Jenny Simpson called it a career.

The World Marathon Majors are expanding. Is it too much? World Athletics announced its finalists for athlete of the year and we're not happy.

Ed Eyestone's great weekend got off to a great start with BYU upsetting Oklahoma State in college XC.
