Ndereba wins fourth Boston title


Defending champion Catherine Ndereba of Kenya became the first four-time woman’s winner of the Boston Marathon yesterday, coming from behind to overtake Ethiopia’s Elfenesh Alemu.

Ndereba won the 109th edition of the world’s oldest annually contested marathon in an unofficial time of 2 hours 25 minutes 12 seconds. That fell short of the women’s course record of 2:20:43 set by Margaret Okayo of Kenya in 2002.
