N.Y.C. Marathon 2017: Shalane Flanagan Wins Women’s Race
After 21 miles, the lead pack whittled to three: Keitany, Daska,
and Shalane Flanagan, a 36-year-old from Massachusetts, who finished second in New York in 2010.
Shalane Flanagan ended a four-decade drought for American women in the New York City
Marathon on Sunday, dethroning one of the giants of the sport in the process.
Mamitu Daska, of Ethiopia, competing in the New York City Marathon for the first time, finished third with a time of 2:28:08.
Flanagan’s unofficial time was 2 hours 26 minutes 53 seconds, fast enough to beat the three-time defending champion Mary Keitany of Kenya
and become the first American woman to win since Miki Gorman in 1977.
Kamworor didn’t crack, holding on to win his first New York City Marathon in 2:10:53.
