This happened a couple of weeks ago, but it's worth noting. The USA might not have world-record-setting (or holding) women's marathon runners, but they're good.
Emily Sisson smashes American marathon record by 43 seconds in Chicago
"Conditions on the Chicago Marathon’s relatively flat course were ideal Sunday [October 9], with Sisson — who won the 10,000 at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials last summer — finishing second to Ruth Chepng’etich. The Kenyan repeated as the Chicago champion with a time of 2:14:18, 14 seconds off the world record set by Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei in the 2019 Chicago Marathon.
Sisson finished in 2:18:29, taking 43 seconds off the American record set by Keira D’Amato in January in Houston."
