ETHIOPIAN athletes claimed victory in both men’s and women’s races at Sunday’s Irish Life Dublin Marathon. Northern runners dominated the national championships held in conjunction with the event as Stephen Scullion and Ann-Marie McGlynn scored decisive wins. It commemorated Treacy’s victory in the race 30 years earlier in what was the swansong of his long and successful career. Husen, accompanied only by a pacemaker, was 19 seconds clear at the 20kms (59:35) with Scullion now in eighth (62:00). In the wheelchair race, Patrick Monahan won his seventh Dublin Marathon in a time of one hour, 41 minutes and three seconds.
