  • Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains
    Lemi Berhanu Hayle Targets Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Record, by Paul Gains Many are the athletes who target course records and victory in the weeks preceding a major marathon, but few can achieve this glory. Ethiopia’s Lemi Berhanu Hayle, however, has the fast times and experience to match his bravado. The 24-year-old - he turns 25 tomorrow, September 13 - has confirmed he will attack Philemon Rono’s Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon course record (2:06:52) on October 20th. With Rono also committed to this year’s event, plus last year’s champion Benson Kipruto, Lemi’s addition to the field sets up a compelling showdown for the CAN $30,000 first place prize and, if things go right, CAN $40,000 course record bonus. Lemi is held in such high regard by Ethiopian selectors that he was selected to his nation’s 2016 Olympic team (he finished 13th). Earlier that year he won the 2016 Boston Marathon. But it was his victory at the 2015 Dubai Marathon in 2:05:28 - the fourth fastest time in the world that year - which introduced him as a world-beating athlete. Though he was beaten during his Dubai title defence in 2017 he came away with a new personal best of 2:04:33, in second place. Against this backdrop a Toronto course record assault is more than viable. “My target is to have the course record time and of course to win the race,” he says adding he will ask the pacemakers to go through halfway in 1:03.

  • Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women's Athletics
    1 Kathrine Switzer: How One Run Broke the Barrier of Discrimination in Women’s Athletics Marlena Olson and Sam Newitt Junior Division Group Documentary Process Paper: 499 words 2 Kathrine Switzer challenged societal and legal barriers against women participating in distance running as the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Her landmark run increased women’s participation in sports and paved the way for the passage of Title IX. We are interested in running, and after initially researching Bobbi Gibb’s story, we discovered Kathrine Switzer. Switzer’s 1967 Boston Marathon run had a large amount of press coverage, which provided primary sources, and showed the cultural importance of her run. We began our research by reading secondary sources; we determined that a knowledge base was necessary to interpret primary sources. Next, we began locating primary sources, including photographs and newspapers from the 1960s. Additionally, a teacher suggested we interview Dr. Laura Raeder, who has run a marathon in every U.S. state. She provided insight on the integration of women in marathon running. Our school librarian assisted us in locating databases for both primary and secondary sources. We downloaded more than fifty historical newspaper articles from Newspapers.com, and we read Marathon Woman, Switzer’s autobiography. These primary sources helped ​ ​ demonstrate initial reactions from 1967. Although we located an abundance of sources, there was one source we sought but were not able to use: a direct interview with Kathrine Switzer. We emailed Switzer’s media director and requested a Skype interview. Switzer was not able to fulfill our request, however, the director sent us a press folder.
