Shakopee Women Complete Sweltering Boston Marathon

On Monday, thousands of runners completed the 26.2 mile Boston Marathon, but nobody set a course record or had a personal best – and likely no one was expecting to as temperatures soared into the upper 80's.

Two women from Shakopee made the sweltering journey and finished:

Jenae Vieregge, 32, finished in 3 hours 58 minutes and 37 seconds. Her average per mile pace was 9 minutes 7 seconds.

Heidi K. Linder, 42, finished in 4:51:14 and had a 11:07 per mile pace average.

Kenya's Sharon Cherop won the women's elite race with a time of 2:31:50. She was neck-to-neck with Jemima Jelagat Sumgong, but broke away as they turned onto Boylston Street.

In the men's elite race, Kenya's Wesley Korir won the title with a time of 2:12:40. Around Heartbreak Hill, a spectator shouted to him he was in sixth place, and he started picking off people one by one, surprising himself as the took the lead.
