At the Chicago Marathon, Philippe Rolly ran a 2:35:45 (splits 1:17:11/1:18:34) to finish 9th in the men’s 50-54 AG, followed by Nic Franklin in 3:12:15 (PR; splits 1:35:07/1:37:08), Jessica Hawkenin 3:15:15 (PR; splits 1:39:51/1:35:24), Cris Burbach in 3:20:29 (splits 1:40:39/ 1:39:50) and Daryle Lademan in 3:27:01 (splits 1:45:50/1:41:11). This race served as the World Masters Marathon Championship. Congrats to Philippe on his top 10 AG finish. Cris (125th in the 45-49 AG) and Daryle (110th in the 50-54 AG) posted times that would normally place them significantly higher in their AGs, but their placings yesterday speak to the incredible depth of the competition in all of the masters AGs at this race.
