'This is my first time in the United States, and I have to say I’m so excited and I'm happy for the win today.'
After dropping out of the Olympic Marathon in August due to an injury, Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich, 27, came to the Chicago Marathon eager for a victory.
American Emma Bates, 29, finished second in 2:24:20—a personal best by more than a minute. Sara Hall finished third in 2:27:19, and Keira D’Amato, 36, wasn’t far behind her, placing fourth in 2:28:22.Bates ran a far more conservative race than Chepngetich, hitting the halfway point in 1:12:27—in sixth place and a full five minutes behind the reigning world champion. At that point, she said, she began to feel nervous, unsure of how far ahead her competitors were.
Hall spent some time training with Coburn and some of the other members of the group during higher-altitude stints in Crested Butte, Colorado, this summer and fall; she called Bates' performance"really impressive."
