Determined Hyvon

Hyvon Ngetich crawling

Brave!
Determination they say truly lies within..all we need to do is just awaken it..That is the story of Kenyan Female Runner Hyvon Ngetich who crawled to the finish line on her hands and knees yesterday at the 2015 Austin Marathon and Half Marathon Sunday.During the race ngetich could not run anymore and collapsed on her knees but proceeded to crawl,meanwhile a wheelchair was rolled to her side in a rush but she refused to sit in it.Hyvon was leading the race with just a little to go when her system shut down, but her determination dragged her on as she finished the race on her hands and knees.Reports said even though Hyvon Ngetich lost her bid to win the 2015 marathon she sure won the hearts of spectators and Austin Marathon race director John Conley told Ngetich ‘You ran the bravest race and crawled the bravest crawl I have ever seen in my life. You have earned much honor, and I am going to adjust your prize money, so you get the same prize money you would have gotten if you were second,’... wow am Touched!
