Hyvon Ngetich

Hyvon Ngetich (born May 12, 1985) is an elite Kenyan marathon runner.

In 2008, she won the Puerto de Veracruz Medio Marathon in addition to placing third in the Austin Half Marathon and at the Ottawa Race Weekend 10K race.

She was in the lead until she collapsed approximately fifty meters from the finish line.

Despite medical personnel rushing toward her with a wheelchair, Ngetich refused the chair and crawled the last fifty meters on her hands and knees until she crossed the finish line, coming third.

Race Director John Conley adjusted Ngetich's purse prize to reflect second place.
