Wade finishes 2nd in San Antonio!
After not going to the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon in October to compete in the USA Marathon Championships, 40-year-old Houston native Sean Wade showed up today in San Antonio and finished second at the San Antonio Marathon in 2:28:02.
Kenyan Charles Njeru, who trains in Boulder, Colorado, was the winner in 2:22:49.
Earlier this year, in late April, Njeru, 24, won his 4th consecutive Meijer Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon in Louisville, Kentucky with a time of 2:18:18 - just 34 seconds off of his 2005 course recourd.
Both Njeru and Wade defeated two-time defending champion Ismael Leon of Mexico. Leon, who has won the last two years in 2:32:21 and 2:34:34, respectively, finished today in 2:34:16.
No surprises on the women's side as San Antonio native and Wade's fellow countrymate from New Zealand, 37-year-old Liza Hunter-Galvan won her 4th consecutive San Antonio Marathon and her 6th overall. Hunter-Galvan won in 2:46:47 - just over 20 minutes of her closest competitor, 24-year-old Julee Guinn. Running her debut marathon, Guinn, the Waco native who works in Baylor's Exercise & Sport Nutrition Laboratory, finished in 3:07:38.
Two weeks ago, Guinn easily won the Miracle Match Half Marathon (6th overall) in Waco with a 13 minute, 24 second victory over 19-year-old TCU sophomore Amanda Foust. Guinn covered the course, which included hilly Cameron Park, in 1:28:38.
