Nicolette Buonora, 17, a senior at Hopkinton High and her mother, Michelle Buonora, attended their first Boston Marathon two years ago on the 50th anniversary of the first official women’s field in the race. The event so inspired them that they wore “Wonder Woman” outfits last year to the starting line and this year wore cowboy hats to draw attention to women athletes. –Handout/Chris Serres
