F60-64 at Chicago 13.1: Guerrero Takes the Win in a Battle of Chicago Locals

• Angelica Guerrero won the F60-64 age group in 1:46:04 (8:05/mi), finishing 58 seconds ahead of runner-up Libby Harvey-Hill.
• The top two finishers are both Chicago natives — Guerrero and Harvey-Hill separated a full 17½ minutes from third place.
• Susan Barry (4th, 2:05:59) was the strongest mover in the late race, climbing from outside the top 1,500 women's finishers at the 8K mark to 1,330th by 15K.
• 77 women finished in the F60-64 age group on a clear, mild Chicago morning — solid conditions for a 13.1.

Angelica Guerrero owned the F60-64 age group from the front, crossing in 1:46:04 at an 8:05/mi clip. Her lead over Libby Harvey-Hill — 58 seconds — was never seriously threatened. Harvey-Hill ran a steady race at 8:10/mi, finishing in 1:47:02, and actually moved up in the women's field between the 8K and 10K segments, posting the 264th-fastest women's split on that stretch. Guerrero answered with the 258th-fastest women's split from 10K to 15K, keeping her margin intact the rest of the way.

What makes the podium picture even more striking is the gap to third. Kayoko Hamamura finished in 2:04:31 — more than 17 minutes behind Harvey-Hill — with Susan Barry just 88 seconds back in fourth at 2:05:59. Barry's race had a story of its own: she was buried near 1,528th among women at the 8K mark but steadily worked her way up to 1,330th by 15K, one of the more determined climbs in the age group.

Fifth-place Irma Lagunes Perez (2:06:19) and sixth-place Deborah Shutter (2:06:44) ran nearly identical races, separated by just 25 seconds across 13.1 miles — the tightest battle of the day in F60-64 outside the top two. Places 7 through 20 were packed within a two-minute window from 2:07:20 to 2:17:57, showing just how competitive the middle of this age group was on a comfortable 60-degree morning in Chicago.
