Kenya’s Mary Wacera put a spirited fight as she won for the fourth time the 41st edition of the Boilermaker 15K race that was held on Sunday (8) in Utica, New York.
The 29 year-old led a 1-4 Kenyan podium finish as she out kicked her closest rival Monicah Ngige to cut the tape in 50:01 making it her fourth Boilermaker win and to equal her win with Catherine Ndereba who won the title in 1996,1999,2000 and 2001.
Ngige took second place two seconds later as Vicoty Chepngeno closed the first three podium finishes in 50:04.
Delvine Meringor finished in fourth place as Ethiopia’s Buze Kejela finished fourth in 50:05 and 50:08 respectively.
The course record that was set in 2010 by Kenya’s Ednah Kiplagat remains intact.
