Woods takes New York second again

Woods won the London Marathon title in 2007

Britain's Shelly Woods finished as runner-up for the third time in the New York Marathon women's wheelchair race.

The 23-year-old from Blackpool came home just behind defending champion Edith Hunkeler of Switzerland.

Hunkeler, 37, crossed the line in one hour 58 minutes, 15 seconds - seven seconds ahead of Woods, who just edged Japan's Wakako Tsuchida (1:58:23).

In the men's wheelchair race, defending champion Kurt Fearnley of Australia won a fourth New York title.

The course record holder out-sprinted South African Krige Schabort over the final 200 metres to win on the line by less than a wheelspan.

Both men clocked 1:35:58, with Switzerland's Marcel Hug third in 1:40:43.
