Olympia native Jesse Stevick won his sixth Capital City Marathon Sunday with a winning time of 2 hours, 35 minutes and 33 seconds to set a new record for most victories at Capital City by a male runner.

Last year, Stevick, a science teacher at Olympia High School, tied Phil Jasperson with five career victories each at Capital City. Stevick has now won the 26.2-mile race in 2006, ’07, ’08, ’09, ’11 and Sunday. Runner-up to Stevick in Sunday’s marathon was Joshua Klimek, a former Evergreen runner, who finished in 2:35.40.
