		Okayo, who has won four of her six finishes, ran in her first U.S. marathon in Chicago in 1999, where she was runner-up to Joyce Chepchumba by one second.
		Okayo had a pained expression and appeared to vomit after she broke through the finish tape, but then she brightened as she spied one of her supporters and leapt into his arms.

		Okayo, with the kind of floating stride one might expect from someone who weighs 93 pounds, had been discovered by the legendary coach Dr. Gabriele Rosa and his sons while she was racing in high school in Kenya.
