Cheruiyot does a phenomenal Boston Marathon

Phenomenal running by Mr. Robert Cheruiyot in the Boston M. My favorite runner-student MS posted a great time as well. Way to go!

Cheruiyot -- not that one! -- wins Boston Marathon - Yahoo! Sports: "Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot won the 114th Boston race Monday, finishing in 2:05:52 to shatter by 82 seconds the course record set by unrelated four-time winner Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot. American Ryan Hall, who finished third last year, missed another spot on the podium by 2 seconds, but his time of 2:08:41 was the fastest ever for U.S. runner in Boston.

“Today was a breakthrough day,” said Hall, who was 6 seconds faster than Bob Kempainen was in 1994. “Guys are paving new territory, and that’s good for us, too.”

Teyba Erkesso of Ethiopia took the women’s title in 2:26:11, sprinting to the tape to win by 3 seconds in the event’s third-closest women’s finish. Russia’s Tatyana Pushkareva smiled and waved at the TV cameras as she closed what had been a 90-second gap, but she could not quite catch Erkesso on Boylston Street."
