    		Corina Canitz finished Wisconsin's Lakefront Marathon in third place. First finisher, Cassie Peller, was disqualified for accepting an unofficial water bottle during the race. Two days later, Jennifer Goebel, who had finished second and been promoted to winner, was disqualified when official saw race photos showing she was carrying an ipod during the race. This left Corina Canitz as the winner. For now.
