Chicago Marathon Results: Which New Lenox Resident Came Closest to Kenya's Moses Mosop?

The 2011 Chicago Marathon ended with triumph and tragedy, and many New Lenox residents were in the middle of all the action.

According to the Huffington Post, Kenya's Moses Mosop set a Chicago Marathon record, finishing the course in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 37 seconds and breaking Sammy Wanjiru's course mark by 4 seconds.

But just 500 feet from the finish line, North Carolina firefighter William Caviness collapsed and died later that day in the hospital. He was running to raise money to help burn victims.

In New Lenox, 93 residents registered for the race and 82 participated and had results on the marathon website. Resident Michael Blake, 47, finished with the best time of local participants at 3:29:50. That was good enough for 281st in the 45-49 age division and 3,022 overall.

Nadine Bellina, 56, was the oldest participant, placing 258th in the 55-59 division and 32,875 overall with a time of 6:02:51.

Carly Specha was the youngest participant at 19 (one 17-year-old registered but didn't participate). She finished 100th in the 16-19 division and 27,630 overall.

The New Lenox Community Emergency Response Team also participated at the event, with members serving as emergency spotters.
