Cox Sports Marathon women's winner: Alyson Venti

Alyson Venti made her first marathon in the states a memorable one. A grad student studying oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, the 25-year-old Boston native took the women’s title at yesterday's Cox Sports Marathon in 3:01:02.

``I guess I kind of went out kind of fast. I was a little bit worried because there were so many people on the line. The last marathon I ran had 15 people in it,’’ said Venti, who twice ran the Fiji Bula Marathon while she was in the Peace Corps. ``It got off okay, but I started feeling kind of tired at mile 19 or so. But I just tried to stay with it.’’
