Kenyans sweep NYC Marathon BY GABRIEL PACKARD GIN NEW YORK - Kenya swept the board at this year's New York Marathon, confirm ing its status as the world's leading marathon-running nation. Runners from Kenya won both the men's and the 0 women's gold medals. Kenyan Christopher Kipkenboi, who finished second in the men's face, had never run a marathon before. In total, Kenyan men filled four of the top 10 positions, including first, second and third. Kenyan women also took four of the top 10 posi tions. "In some races, there are only Kenyans in the top 10," said David Monti, the elite ath lete coordinator for the New York Marathon. "World marathons are saturated with Kenyans." Speaking of the Kenyan victories at this year's New York Marathon, Monti said, "I'm not at all surprised." Kenyans in the top 10 included winner Rodgers Rop at 2:08:07, Christopher Cheboiboch at 2:08:17, Laban Kipkemboi at 2:08:39 and Stephen Ndungu at 2:13:28. Women winners were: Joyce Chepchumba at 2:25:56, Esther Kiplagat at 2:27:00, Margaret Okayo at 2:27:46 and Lornah Kiplagat at 2:28:41. "Rodgers Rop, the men's winner, was no surprise," said Monti, who works for the New York Marathon identifying, recruiting, contracting and looking after the world's top distance runnfers. "He came (in) third last year, and this year he won the Boston Marathon." A former member of the Nairobi Police Department. Rop carries on the New York mantle of Ibrahim Hussein, Douglas Wakiihuri, John Kagwe and Joseph Chebet, the last Kenyan to win here, in 1999. Rop engineered a mas terful race to win $120,000 and the title. A relative novice, Rop started training seriously three years ago. In fact, Kenyan men have won the Boston Marathon every year for the last 11 years, except in 2001 when a Korean won. Kenyans have achieved four of the top 10 fastest-ever men's marathon times, and five of the top 10 fastest women's. Monti lists four reasons why Kenyans currently excel in marathons. "Number one," he said, "the economy of Kenya is very poor. There is 40 percent unemployment, and many people turn to marathon running." "In the West, there are many choices," he said. "Why would someone endure the physical hardship of training to be a long-distance runner when they could make money designing Web sites?" "Number two, many people live and are raised at altitude." Monti continued. "This suits endurance sports." "Number three, European coaches and managers have set up a number of training camps and programs," he said. "And like a wonderful garden that's been tended to they've begun to yield excellent fruit." "And last is Kenyan cul ture," he said. "Young people want to become runners. Kenyan marathon runners are national heroes." As for Chepchumba, she trained in Switzerland and in Germany. A portion of her $105,000 purse ($80,000 for winning; $25,000 for time) will go to her parents. Some will pay the school fees of her nephews and nieces. The rest, she said, "is for my son and husband....That's what we can do. For us, we have an extend ed family." 1 Chepchumba ACCU f/sAFtER Forecast for Winston-Salem AH m?p?, toracjats and data provided by AccuWMttwr, Inc.
