Kenyan Willy Tanui captured his second major running title in the Philippines on Sunday as he ruled the 1st Kahit Isang Araw Lang-Takbo para sa Libreng Kolehiyo at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Tanui, winner of the Cebu City Marathon last Jan. 10, nosed out compatriot Kiberess Kember for the title, pouncing on the latterâs âmiscalculation" of laps in the 21-K race. Tanui clocked a winning one hour and 14 minutes en route to the championâs prize of P30,000. Kember was 14 seconds off Tanui, good for second place and P20,000 prize, even as Alley Quisay emerged as the best Filipino finisher at third place with 1:19:06 for P10,000 cash. âI was supposed to win but I made a mistake because I thought I needed one more lap. But it turned out that I was supposed to head straight for the finish line. I ran back but it was too late," a disappointed Kember said.
