NEW YORK – It wasn’t anything close to 2014’s tactical sprint-to-the-finish win, but Kenya’s Mary Keitany looked just as euphoric at the finish line of Sunday’s 45th New York City Marathon as she did at the finish line of the 44th.
With time to spare coming around the final bend of the race through the five boroughs, Keitany held up one finger in each hand and waved them at cheering spectators before adding a finger to signify No. 2, celebrating her second consecutive New York City Marathon win.
The 33-year-old mother of two is the eighth woman to win multiple New York City Marathon titles.
