That, combined with heaps of training, led Sisson, who ran track at two Omaha high schools, to a second-place finish and an American women’s record of 2:18:29. At the state track meet, she won gold medals in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters. In May, she set the American half marathon record in Indianapolis with a time of 1:07:11. Sisson said she was amazed to learn she had broken the American record. “It was surreal.”After the race, Sisson went out for a celebratory meal — a burger and fries — with her husband and family.
