Quite a day for the Marathon. I guess all it takes is pretty much to have a monsoon come through to allow someone else than a Nigerian or Ethiopian to win the Boston marathon.
But who would have guessed a complete unknown came in second place for women. Nice $75k bonus for her.
Who is Sarah Sellers?
That’s the question everyone wanted to know the answer to Monday afternoon. Roughly five minutes after Desiree Linden became the first American female to win the Boston Marathon in 33 years, Sellers crossed the finish line with a time of 2:44:04 to take second place. Unlike Linden, however, nobody knew who she was.
