Record-setting performance by KebedeOct 8, 2012 12:00 AM
Tsegaye Kebede needed no extra motivation for Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon. After getting passed over for selection to the Ethiopian Olympic team for the Summer Games in London despite a strong track record of top marathon finishes, Kebede sent a message with a record-breaking performance on a chilly Chicago morning (42 degrees at start time). Kebede shattered the course record by nearly a minute, finishing the 26.2 miles in 2:04:38. The previous record (2:05:37) was set last year by Moses Mosop who opted to run the New York City Marathon this fall. It was a good day for Ethiopia on the women's side as well as Atsede Baysa finished first to complete the sweep for the East African nation.
