NEW YORK: Geoffrey Kamworor and Joyciline Jepkosgei sealed a double victory for Kenya at the New York Marathon on Sunday , storming to convincing wins in the men's and women's races at the annual showpiece.

Keitany, who had been chasing a remarkable fifth New York title, finished in second place after a thrilling battle with the less experienced Jepkosgei. Jepkosgei then made her move in mile 23, rapidly putting daylight between herself and Keitany and opening up a 16-second lead heading down the stretch.

"I knew Mary had more experience in marathon, so I was trying to push," a delighted Jepkosgei said after the win.
