Congratulations, Em_Sisson! She shattered a record set earlier this year.
“I do love the track. But I really want to see what I can do on the roads.”
That decision paid off big: In Indianapolis in May, she set the American record in the half-marathon by running 1:07:11, after“Third time is a charm,” Sisson wrote onHer focus on long-distance training has continued to reap dividends in Chicago. According toSisson was confident going into the race, and said she would go for the American record if she was “having a good day.” She ended up negative-splitting the race—meaning she finished the second half quicker than the first.
Following the race, Sisson met up with D’Amato and American distance running legends Deena Kastor—who held the American marathon record until 2006—and Joan Benoit Samuelson, the first women's Olympic Marathon champion.. "I mean, the women standing here today, they've all accomplished so much, so just to be amongst them is an incredible honor."
D’Amato, who served as a race analyst for NBC Chicago during the event, said it was “pretty emotional” to be there when Sisson broke her American record. D'Amato had only set the previous record in January 2022 at the Houston Marathon, as“I’m just really proud of Emily today, feeling part of the legacy to keep moving the bar forward for American women,” D’Amato said in the broadcast.
