Detroit marathon: Haslett man finishes 1st

9:50 a.m. There was a tight battle for the men's marathon title, with Haslett's Nick Stanko coming out on top.

Stanko, 28, was neck-and-neck with 2nd-place finisher Chad Johnson for most of the race, including the finish.

Stanko took over with 4 miles left and never relinquished the lead, though.

He clocked in at a time of 2:20.23 and was very happy with the layout of the route.
