Surprise Winner Of Quad Cities Marathon, Beats Record-holder

Genna Tufa (Ethiopia) made a big move just after mile mark 23 
at today's Quad Cities Marathon, presented by THE National Bank, and never 
looked back en route to his third marathon win of the year.  Tufa's 2:18:30 
ranks as the second-fastest ever on the QC race course.  The time was also 
a personal best for the 23-year-old who won at Tampa (2:21:44) and Virginia 
Beach (2:20:35) earlier this year.
