NORMAN, Okla. — Former Oklahoma Track and Field letterwinner Catherine Odell-Lisle claimed her second straight Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon title Sunday morning in downtown Oklahoma City. The 2006 All-American and Big 12 champion as a member of the program's indoor distance medley relay beat the course record as she covered the 26.2-mile course in a time of 2:54:22 to beat the course record by eight minutes and her 2009 winning record by 16 minutes.

Justin Harper of The Oklahoman has a full recap of Odell-Lisle's narrow victory:
