Windham Marathon Participants Safe After Bombing

Almost all seven of Windham's registered Boston Marathon participants have been accounted for after two explosions killed at least three and injured over 100 at the finish line Monday.

William E. Madden, Jr. was the first runner from town to complete the 26.2-mile race. He did so about a half hour before two bombs were set off about 50 to 100 yards apart at Copley Square.

"Billy Madden is OK," said Windham resident Kimberly Crosby in a post on the Windham Patch Facebook page.

Six other runners from Windham, all in their 40's, joined Madden in Boston.

Both Dan and Kristina Mearls were reportedly safe a few hours after the race, according to their daughter. The two clocked in within six minutes of one another at the half marathon checkpoint, but like many other runners, never finished the race.

Tracy Carracedo, who was accounted for by several Windham Patch readers late Monday night, is shaken up but safe, according to his neighbor.

Carracedo was home Monday night with his wife and two young girls, who were all with him at the race.

According to his Twitter account, Carracedo was running his final Boston Marathon.

Carracedo, a WCVB-TV employee, tweeted at 3:52 p.m:

Mayhem at the 25.75 mile mark as runners are held up due 2 explosion @wcvb#bostonmarathon @wcvbnews

Carracedo included a photo showing a pack of runners, held up by the explosions.

Sharon Perry Richard reported on Facebook that both Susan Marsh and Sean Haggerty were safe.

Haggerty clocked in with a net time of 4:11:50, which would actually indicate that he finished minutes after the double explosion occurred.

Tracy Breen was unaccounted for by readers, but race records indicate that she finished with a net time of 4:04:55, meaning that she cruised in just minutes before the devestation.

Brian and Lisa Currie returned home after volunteering near the finish line. They said that they left "right after the (two) booms," and were shaken from the ordeal.
