Kenyans dominate Cebu marathon
A year after quitting mid-way through the race, Kenyan Philip Ronoh won his first men's title in the Cebu City Marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes and 28 seconds Sunday at the Cebu IT Park in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City.
Ronoh, who finished second in 2010 and fourth in 2011, quit 30 kilometers into the race last year due to pain in his right knee.
He felt pain again this year, but managed to hold on to win.
“In marathon, anything can happen and anything can affect your performance. You just have to try and try until you succeed," he said.

Garnett ejected from gameafter Kevin Garnett lost his cool and Brooklyn Nets lost again yesterday, falling 113-99 to the Houston Rockets. Garnett, known for his passion in a 20-year NBA career, played little over four minutes before he was ejected from the game for an altercation in which he head-butted Rockets center Dwight Howard with 7:53 to play in the first quarter. Howard was slapped with a technical foul after some testy shoving between the two but stayed in the game. |
