Former Colorado State All-American Jerrell Mock qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in the marathon Sunday by finishing 10th overall and second among Americans at the Chicago Marathon.

Mock, who is from Logan, Utah, but now lives and trains in Fort Collins, completed the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 10 minutes and 37 seconds — one second slower than the leading American, Jacob Riley.

Mock’s time was the fifth-fastest by an American this year, according to the International Association of Athletic Federations, the world governing body for track and field.

Kenya’s Lawrence Cherono was the winner in 2:05:45, just one second ahead of runner-up Dejene Debela of Ethiopia.

Fort Collins’ AnnMarie Kirkpatrick ran in the elite women’s race and finished 40th in 2:42:55. She also has qualified for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Trials, scheduled for Feb. 29 in Atlanta.

Winner Brigid Kosgei set a women’s world record with her time of 2:14:04. The previous world record was 2:15:25, set by Britain’s Paula Radcliffe in the 2003 London Marathon.

Mock and Kirkpatrick were the winners of the men’s and women’s elite races of this year’s Firekracker 5k on July 4 at City Park.
