Kenyans take 2 top spots in Boston Marathon

BOSTON -- Kenya's Robert Cheruiyot has won the men's race in the 110th running of the Boston Marathon in an unofficial course record, while his fellow Kenyan, Rita Jeptoo, won the women's race.

The title is no stranger to Cheruiyot, who won the race in 2003. Jeptoo pulled away with about 2 miles left to become the sixth Kenyan woman to win the 26-mile race in seven years.
