New York City Marathon

Notwithstanding the television time obtained by our teammates Stefani Jackenthal and Hank Berkowitz at the 1999 New York City Marathon, the person who got the most air line and the highest audience ratings is Casey Yamazaki.  For this marathon, Casey was the escort to Japanese super pop star Hiromi Go.  The event was broadcast live in Japan, and there were multiple clips of Hiromi Go (with Casey) shown on television over there.  One of Casey's duties was to update the television crew as to where exactly they were on the course so that they could get their television cameras ready.  Below is the story in Sports Nippon.
