HOUSTON, TEXAS (January 20, 2019) In her debut appearance in Houston, Emily Sisson (shown right) posted a finishing time of 1:07:30, which was good enough for fifth place in the Houston Half Marathon. Her performance was a scant five seconds off the American Record (1:07:25) set in 2018 by Molly Huddle in Houston.
Sisson, who is a two-time U.S. champion in the 10K (2016) and 5K (2018), had run a previous personal best of 1:08:21 in New York City in 2017. Later in 2017, she placed ninth in the 10,000 meters in the IAAF World Championships. The two-time NCAA champion also holds the NCAA indoor record for the 5,000 meters. The 27-year-old Providence College alumni is planning to run her debut marathon later this spring and is the training partner of Huddle.
