Many of the marathoners at the 2007 New York City Marathon have met in competition before – and sometimes past histories can predict the future. Looking at the compilation of results, one might note that Martin Lel has been consistenly ahead of all of the men who he will meet in New York. On the women’s side, past matchups between Paula Radcliffe and Catherine N’dereba are interesting. And in the competition for the World Marathon Majors money, we’ll note that despite Gete Wami’s superior speed on paper, she has not fared well against Prokopcuka.

If you’re handicapping the race and making predictions, the following tables should help. If you’re interested in knowing who is who, this should help as well…
