– 92-Year-Old Harriette Thompson Becomes Oldest Woman To Ever Finish A Marathon (Huffington Post, May 31, 2015):
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A 92-year-old cancer survivor rocked her way into the record books Sunday, becoming the oldest woman to finish a marathon.
Harriette Thompson of Charlotte, North Carolina, completed Sunday’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego in 7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds. She was mobbed by well-wishers as she crossed the finish line.
“I’m fine, they’re really pampering me here,” Thompson said in a firm, joyful voice as people all around her shouted congratulations.
This was her 16th Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon and, by far, the hardest.
