YORK -- Mebrahtom Keflezighi and Derartu Tulu won the 40th running of
the ING New York City Marathon this morning clocking 2:09:15 and
2:28:52, respectively. Keflezighi was the first American champion in
the event since Alberto Salazar in 1982.Keflezighi broke away
from four-time Boston Marathon champion Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot
shortly before turning in to Central Park at 90th street. He steadily
increased his lead through the closing two miles. Keflezighi also
became the USATF Marathon champion, as the U.S. men's championship was
run concurrently with the marathon.Tulu stayed with the lead
pack of five through the Bronx as the leaders first dropped Boston
champion Salina Kosgei of Kenya. The next major contender to drop was
three-time New York winner Paula Radcliffe, and finally smooth-running
Frenchwoman Christelle Daunay in the final miles.Tulu's last
rival was 2000 New York champion Ludmila Petrova, the runner-up last
year as well. Tulu, the Olympic 10,000m gold medalist in 1992 at the
age of 18, broke away on Central Park and held off Petrova through the
finish with an eight-second lead at the finish.Ryan Hall was
the second American finisher in 2:10:36, behind Cheruiyot (2:09:15) and
Jaoud Gharib (2:09:56) of Morocco. There were six Americans in the
first 10 finishers.Look for a full report from New York later.ENDS
