2003 US Women's Marathon Championship
|
Early Race
|
Colleen De Reuck asserts herself early, Jeanne Hennessey goes with her but
starts fading. It looks to be turning into a one woman race for first. The real
race is forming behind.
|
|
Mid Race
|
De Reuck blazes through the half in 1:14:40. Sara Wells, an unknown to many of
the spectators, has surged into second. The conditions are starting to take
their toll on many of the runners already. A number of runners drop out after
going through the half.
|
|
Late Race
|
Wells is gaining ground on De Reuck. It's becoming more obvious all the time
that De Reuck is starting to struggle, while Wells is running strong. Most think
De Reuck still has the race well in hand but it doesn't seem like a sure thing
to everyone.

|
Finish
|
At 25 miles, Wells makes the pass. Wells first, De Reuck second, Kelly Flathers
third, Stacie Alboucrek fourth, Beth Old fifth, Lisa Vaill sixth, Katie Blackett
seventh, Susannah Loken eighth, Nadia Prasad ninth, Wendy Ray tenth.
