Just after he finished the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday, Hosava Kretzmann (Hopi/Navajo) was told by a marathon official that he was the first American and sixth person to cross the finish line. He could hardly believe it.
The 28-year-old finished the 26.2-mile race in a time of 2:19:55.
Incredibly, it was the first full marathon Kretzmann had ever run. On Sunday, he was among 22,000 runners who participated in the Los Angeles Marathon.
