Palatine's Top 5 Finishers in the Chicago Marathon

Thousands of runners from around the world took to the streets of Chicago on Sunday to race in the Chicago Marathon. That included a large number of participants from Palatine.

Runners from the village might not have won the marathon — Kenyan runners Abel Kirui and Florence Kiplagat were the first-place finishers in the men's and women's divisons, respectively — but they did post some more-than-respectable times in the race. In fact, Heather Crowe, 25, placed in the top 50 in the women's division.

Here's a look at the Chicago Marathon's top five finishers from Palatine in the men's and women's divisions, along with their times and their placings in the division and overall.
