| History |
The marathoners set off in a cool, drizzling rain just after 8 a.m., and the skies cleared as the field reached False Outer Point. Runners from the Puerto Rican National Guard dominated both races - fourteen Guardsmen entered, and three won with record times. Timothy Vandervlugt of Cottage Grove, Oregon took the marathon in 2:42:57, his first win in any marathon, breaking John Snoozy's 1993 course record of 2:44:14. "We were together for about five or six miles, but we were averaging about 6:15," he said. "It was real gradual. None of my miles were really that fast." Kelly Wild of Niceville, Florida won the women's marathon in 3:24:15, taking twenty seconds off Dori Robertson's 1995 record: "You know, I've run over 20 marathons - yeah, this is the first one I've won." Joyce Hockensmith's 4:05:19 broke the women's masters record as well. Twelfth place went to Edson Sanches of New York, born in Brazil, who runs with the 50 States and D.C. club: by 1996 he had raced a marathon in every state, was halfway round a second time, and had run 188 marathons in 31 countries. "I just ran a marathon last week in Greenland," he said. "With all the travel and lack of sleep, I'm happy I broke 3:20 today." Every runner who registered for the marathon finished it.

The list is headed "Saturday, August 4"; the race was Saturday 3 August, as both photograph captions and the Empire Cup calendar confirm. |
