Ruiz was branded by commentator Kathrine Switzer as “the mystery woman winner.”īill Burt at the Eagle Tribune also notes Ruiz was also asked by men’s marathon winner, Bill Rodgers, what her splits were during the race. No one saw her at various checkpoints of the race, and she was not sweating at all on an incredibly muggy day after apparently running 26.2 miles. However, according to Richard Sandomir at the New York Times, she couldn’t answer the interviewers' questions about basic things runners do to train and improve, including interval training. She had apparently run a 2:56:33 at the New York City Marathon the year before and improved her marathon time by 25 minutes. When she finished, a commentator asked herhow she improved her previous time by so much.
