It was a record day for Americans in the 2022 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, as Emily Sisson scored a top-two finish and put down a record time in the race.
Sisson, a six-time national champion, hadn’t raced at marathon distance since the trials for the Tokyo Olympics, but that didn’t stop her from setting a new American women’s marathon record in Chicago on Sunday.
In the race, Sisson put up a blistering 1:09:26 half-marathon split and finished the race on a strong note, finishing in 2:18:29. That time set a new American record in the distance, besting the time of 2:19:12 that Keira D’Amato put up in Houston earlier this year as she broke Deena Kastor’s long-standing record.
