Never heard of her before. Must be a tough woman finishing so well in those conditions today. Awesome!
LRC Update: interview with Sarah here:
She said she comes to LetsRun and thanked us for it. Definitely the day for the citizen runner!

Craziness in Boston.
Linden's win was nuts, so was Kawauchi's.
However even more crazy was that the rest of the women's top 5 has names we've never heard of.
Sarah Sellers 2nd in 2:44:05 (she's not listed in the women's elite field but she did start with bib F42)
Krista Duchene 3rd 2:44:20 (she's from Canada and listed in field)
Rachel Hyland 4th 2:44:29 (not listed in field)
NIcole Dimercurio 5th 2:45:52 (not listed in field).
Only thing we know about Sellers is she's run 35:33 fo r10k in Orlando a few years ago. That's her only result in the results database we use.
We also have her with a 1:18 half from googling.
Anyone know anything about these women. Pleas post.
I can't find many results for her on the net. But she did run a 1:18 half marathon for 2nd place a year and a half ago.

This is probably her, a 1:14:54 Half in Phoenix earlier this year:

Duchene has run 2:37 and ran 2 world champs for Canada.
And this marathon win in UT in September:

Her website says she is a 2002 grad of Southwest Texas State.
Texas State has an All-Conference girl named Sarah Ross in 2000 and 2001; could Sellers be a married name?
$75k richer.
Gladys Cheshir was in third with a mile to go— she didn’t make the top 10, which either means that last mile took her over ten minutes or she dropped out.
I know the elites have yearly salaries from their shoe contracts but the amount of money they lost in the last couple of miles is insane. Cheshir had over a minute on sixth place ($12,000) with a mile to go— she ended up with nothing.
In contrast, a huge amount of cash just went to the low end of the elite spectrum in the U.S. and Canada on both the men’s and the women’s side. Good for them. I do wonder if any woman from the main field will end up with a time that should be in the money, which goes 15 deep, and how they would handle that. I assume there is a stipulation that you have to start with the elite women to win money.
DuChene? She's the second fastest Canadian all time, has run 2:28:xx. Ran the marathon in Rio.
Tough as nails, former hockey player and Mom of three. She broke her leg in the middle of the Montreal half marathon and hopped all the way to the finish.

Scott Sellers was a great high jumper. No relation either?
I believe this is her
https://www.iaaf.org/athletes/united-states/sarah-callister-256217
she was?is? with ZAP
DiMercurio is from Georgia via UGA and runs for ZAP Fitness. Considering its 34 and blowing wind/rain in Boone today, not surprising that ZAP athletes did well (Pennel 4th in M, Thompson 10th in W).
Sarah Sellers' maiden name is Callister. She ran at Weber State. Here's a link to her bio:

Did they drag a bunch of American flags on the ground like the always do? My video feed cut out during that critical moment.
I mean I was loving the last 5 miles, don't get me wrong. I just can't imagine what it would have been like to see some American I've never heard of before running into first in the last couple of miles and frantically using Google to try to learn her story.

It's a piece of cloth, get over it
