DALLAS, Texas -- There was a dramatic finish at the Dallas Marathon on Sunday after the winner of the women's division collapsed just steps before the finish line.
Chandler Self, a psychiatrist in New York City, was leading by several minutes when she ran out of steam. She was struggling, and suddenly her legs gave out.

A high school student running alongside her in a relay helped Self back up all the way to the finish line.
Marathon staff immediately helped Self into a wheelchair after her win, but she was upbeat.
"My running buddies are going to make so much fun of me," Self joked.
