One of the fun parts of this job is finding the new stars.
We are wondering if we have just that with Penina Wanjiru. Penina is a journeyperson marathoner who has had some good races. She knows if she does well here, more opportunities to race in the West, plus more interest from sponsors. Doing well in Athens Marathon puts an athlete like Penina Wanjiru on the map.
