Basweti, Price Capture Marathon Titles

Kenyan Jynocel Basweti won the SunTrust Richmond Marathon in 2 hours 22 minutes on Saturday, November 15, 2008 and claimed the marathoner’s hat trick, three marathon victories in three months.

Basweti, who won the Quad Cities Marathon in September and the Denver Marathon in October and trains in Albuquerque, had won the Quad Cities Marathon in 2006.

Kristin Price, of Raleigh, North Carolina, won the women’s division with a time of 2:45:02. Price, a former Richmond resident, found her familiarity with the course helpful on a blustery day. “I really like the course,” she said. “Well, I think I like it except for the wind.”
