Favorable weather helped hometown favorite Carol Legate live up to all of 
Green Bay's expectations-she became a winner.  Completing the 4th annual 
Cellcom Green Bay Marathon in 2:45:02 Carol Legate easily beat second place 
finisher Maddy Tormoen (2:50:11) and Barbara McManus in 3rd place finished 
1 ½ minutes later.  Legate bolted to a two-minute lead at mile 9, by the 
halfway point she was three minutes in front of her closest competitor.  
She never looked back.

On the flip side, until just past mile 14, the men's winner Charles Kamindo 
was one of nine in the lead pack.  Kamindo ran neck and neck with the other 
Kenyans, Russian Gennady Temnikov, and Chicagoan Chris Wehrman.  Once 
Kamindo made his move he ran all by himself finishing in 2:19:05, 91 
seconds ahead of Chris Wehrman.  At 2:21:51, Gennady Temnikov crossed the 
finish line third.  Both Wehrman and Temnikov were in positions to overtake 
the leader, but could not produce.  It was Kamindo's race; his second win 
in less than a month.

The Cellcom Green Bay Marathons half marathon winners did it fine fashion.  
Tim Willcox, of Middleton, finished in 1:09:42, almost three minutes in 
front of the second place finisher.  For the women, Lea Baer, another 
hometown runner, crossed the finish line in 1:21:57, also three minutes in 
front of the next closest runner. For a list of complete results check our
