Massey among four University
students to finish Boston Marathon
They weren’t followed by cameras on espn2 and they didn’t
get to tear through any tape at the end of the race, but that doesn’t take
away from the accomplishments of four WVU students competing in Monday’s
Boston Marathon.
WVU Student Administration vice president Amy Massey
was the lone undergraduate student, and she crossed the finish line
in 3:37:57.
Joining Massey in the women’s field was Amy Riggleman
of  Morgantown,
who finished slightly ahead with a time of 3:37:14.
The women’s winner was Fatuma Roba of Ethiopia. The 1996
Olympic champion torched the field with a time of 2:23:25.
On the men’s side, a Kenyan runner won the race for the
ninth straight time. Joseph Chebet was the first to cross the line Monday
with a time of 2:09:52.
For WVU, 31-year-old Political Science TA Alfred Olivetti
made it to the finish line in 3:13:11. Just a few minutes later, 30-year-old
Phillip Yin joined him, with a time of 3:19:25.
Overall, the 12,775 runners made it the second largest
field ever for the 103rd running.
This wasn’t Massey’s best running of a marathon — she
qualified for Boston by running the Columbus Marathon in 3:28:00 — but
this one is of a much higher profile.
Massey was an all-state runner at Hurricane High School,
and constantly trains for runs like this.
So far there hasn’t been any announcements of a trip
to next November’s New York Marathon. —eml
