Kenyan Rotich, Ethiopia's Desisa win Boston Marathon

BOSTON - Kenyan runner Caroline Rotich won the women's race at the Boston Marathon on Monday with an unofficial time of 2 hours, 24 minutes and 55 seconds. Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa notched his second win in the men's race of the Boston Marathon on Monday in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 17 seconds, easily beating 2014 champion Meb Keflezighi, who last year became the first U.S. man to win the race in three decades.

Desisa pulled away from Yemane Adhane Tsegay, also of Ethiopia, in the final miles of the race. Tsegay finished second.

Rotich narrowly beat Ethiopia's Mare DiBaba in a closing sprint at the 119th edition of the world's longest-running annual marathon, which was the target of a fatal bombing attack two years ago.
