Tatyana McFadden Wins Women’s Wheelchair For Fourth Straight Year at Boston Marathon

Tatyana McFadden made it four straight at the Boston Marathon on Monday as she joined Louise Sauvage of Australia with four wins. Three others have won it more often so McFadden still has a ways to go to set some real history but she’s off to a great start in the first ever Wheelchair World Marathon Series with 25 points in the first event. Also finishing in the top eight were Susannah Scaroni (fourth), Amanda McGrory (fifth), and Chelsea McClammer (eighth). On the men’s side the top American was James Senbeta who finished fifth while Aaron Pike was eighth.

Among the runners the US did slightly better among the women as Neely Spence Gracey was the top finisher in ninth place with Sarah Crouch just behind her in 11th. Zachary Hine was the top American man in tenth while Ian Burrell was 13th.

The next World Marathon Major is on Sunday in London, a tight turnaround for those who ran on Monday in Boston.
