Stacy Ndiwa won the women's elite division of the L.A. Marathon for the second consecutive year, shaving 5:32 off last year’s effort on Sunday.
Upon breaking the tape on a pristine St. Patrick’s Day morning in the City of Angels, Dominic Ngeno dropped to his knees and kissed the ground in celebration of winning the 39th Los Angeles Marathon. The 26-year-old Kenyan separated from countryman Cosmas Kiplimo with a little over three miles to go on the 26.2-mile route that started at Dodger Stadium and ended on the Avenue of the Stars in Century City.
Ngeno prevailed by five seconds in 2:10:20 — almost three minutes faster than last year’s winner, Jemal Yimer of Ethiopia. Ngeno clocked a personal-best 2:07:26 to place third at the Eindhoven Marathon in the Netherlands in October and was ninth in 2:11:23 at the Milan Marathon last April. Ethiopian Markos Geneti set the L.A. Marathon record in 2011, but Sunday was all about the Kenyans.
