Shalane Flanagan became the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon on Sunday since 1977, pulling away from Mary Keitany in the last three miles of the race for her first major marathon victory.
Keitany had won three straight New York marathons, but Flanagan pulled away from the Kenyan great with about three miles to go and finished with an unofficial time of 2 hours, 26 minutes, 53 seconds, about a minute faster than Keitany.
The last American woman to win New York was Miki Gorman, who won consecutive titles in 1976-77.

Sounds like a good Irish name.
To: jazusamo
good scene at the finish line...she was in tears and when they put the American Flag around her she grabbed it and said, “I LOVE this flag!!”...
what amazed me was how many African runners did the sign of the cross...

True, but she only intended to "finish" to save face back at work, since they gave her the time off.
She either read her watch wrong and/or didn't know squat about marathons.

Don’t look back, someone may be gaining on you....

She’s 36. Doubtful this wasn’t a chemically enhanced win but congrats to her any way.
