FISHER — The path to Lucas Chittick's impending involvement in Monday's 123rd Boston Marathon is unorthodox, to say the least.
That Chittick is competing at all is fairly unique.
The Fisher senior is just 18 years old — the absolute minimum to line up for one of the world's premier 26.2-mile races. Only 26 individuals of the same age finished the 2018 Boston Marathon.
Two other factors make Chittick's' story even more interesting.
First, he only started distance running in eighth grade as a means to achieve some cross-training for his true love, wrestling.
"I found I really liked (running)," Chittick said this past Tuesday, less than a week from his second-ever marathon.
