Former Arizona State All-America Amy Cragg won a marathon bronze medal for the United States on Sunday at the World Track Championships in London.
Cragg, a two-time Olympian, took third in 2 hours, 27 minutes, 18 seconds, the highest finish of her major international career. It is the first U.S. women's marathon World record since 1983 when Marianne Dickerson was silver medalist.
Cragg was ninth in the marathon at the 2016 Rio Olympics and 11th in the 10,000-meter at the 2012 London Olympics. She was champion at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials.
She finished less than a second behind silver medalist Edna Kiplagat of Kenya and less than ten seconds behind gold medalist Rose Chelimo of Bahrain.
