Susannah Scaroni of the United States added to her portfolio of major titles on Monday, sprinting away from a crowded field to win her first Boston Marathon women’s wheelchair race.
Even after stopping early to repair a wheel, Scaroni encountered little resistance, finishing in an unofficial time of 1 hour, 41 minutes 45 seconds. She zipped past last year’s winner, Manuela Schӓr of Switzerland, between the five- and 10-kilometer marks, and broke the tape with the pack trailing by roughly five minutes.
Scaroni, 31, who came in second in Boston last year, won the Chicago and New York City marathons in 2022.
