The para-athletic divisions for the 2023 Boston Marathon saw a few retained titles and a few shake-ups Monday.
Marko Cheseto Lemtukei and Liz Willis each held onto their first-place titles, with top finishes in one of the two lower limb impairment divisions.
Andrew Thorsen, who finished second last year in the men’s group of the Vision Impairment Division T13 class, finished first this year, in a flip with Ary Carlos Santos. Similarly, Jennifer Herring placed first over Lisa Thompson in the women’s group.
