SUSANNAH SCARONI WIN'S WOMEN'S TITLE STORY: Kenya swept the men's and women's podiums at the New York City Marathon on Sunday (November 2), as Benson Kipruto survived a thrilling sprint finish in two hours eight minutes and nine seconds and Hellen Obiri won the women's race in a course record 2:19:51.     Kipruto ran flat out through the final 50 meters to hold off a late fight from Alexander Mutiso, breaking the tape by a fraction of a second in a photo finish, with the 2021 winner Albert Korir finishing third (2:08:57).     The Paris bronze medallist Obiri, who won in 2023, was running shoulder to shoulder with runner-up Sharon Lokedi (2:20:07) before pulling away ahead of the final turn to break Margaret Okayo's 22-year-old course record of 2:22:31.     Last year's winner Sheila Chepkirui (2:20:24) was third.     The wheelchair race men's title went to Switzerland's Marcel Hug while American Susannah Scaroni won the women's race.     The five-borough classic capped the World Marathon Majors calendar for the year.
