BOSTON — A year after her run of Boston Marathon victories came to an end, Tatyana McFadden is back on top.
The University of Illinois graduate won Monday morning's women's push rim wheelchair race, coming in first with a time of 2 hour, 4 minutes, 39 seconds.
This is McFadden's fifth Boston Marathon title after she won four consecutive races from 2013 to 2016.
The 28-year-old McFadden broke away from the pack early on a chilly and rainy Monday, holding a convincing lead near the half-marathon mark, where she clocked in at 55:33. Her lead only grew from there as she unleashed a dominating performance after a fourth-place finish at Boston in 2017.
