Gov.-elect Tom Wolf watches daughter run in her first marathon

One of the bystanders at Sunday's Gore-Tex Philadelphia Marathon was Pennsylvania Gov.-elect Tom Wolf. He came to watch his daughter Sarah, compete in her first marathon.

Sarah Wolf, 33, finished in a time of 4:27.10 and her father was at the finish line to greet her.

"I am very proud of her," Tom Wolf said afterward. "She has been doing half marathons a number of years and this was her first full marathon and she really did a wonderful job."

Sarah Wolf, who has a masters degree from Penn and lives in Brooklyn, had previously competed in three Philadelphia half-marathons. She said the full marathon was a big difference.

"I am glad I did it," she said. "It was hard and it may be my last."

As for competing in Philadelphia and the atmosphere, she said, "I love it."
