Seahawks keen to trade down, even within division
Seattle Seahawks are open to trading down in the NFL draft, even with division rivals.
Chris Batista from DeLand was the fastest local at the 130th Boston Marathon, finishing in 2:53:12. Shannon Jones from Ormond Beach was the fastest local woman, completing the race in 3:00:18.
The 130th Boston Marathon included more than 30,000 competitors from 120 different countries.
Eighteen of them were from Volusia and Flagler Counties.
As he did a year ago, DeLand’s Chris Batista turned in Monday’s fastest time among the locals — two hours, 53 minutes and 12 seconds (2:53:12).
The fastest local woman was Ormond Beach’s Shannon Jones, with a time of 3:00:18. She finished 53rd out of nearly 1,700 runners in the 40-44 age division.
The 130th Boston Marathon took over the streets of Boston Monday.
As always, the local roster included Jim Musante, of New Smyrna Beach, who pushed his ongoing streak to 46 straight completed Boston Marathons. Depending on Monday’s full results, Musante’s streak is at least the eighth longest current streak of consecutive finishes in the Patriots Day classic.
But it wasn't easy.
After consecutive years in the 3½-hour range, Musante entered this year's event without his usual training, due to hamstring and meniscus injuries. He said he hadn't run more than 10 miles since last year's Boston Marathon. The pre-Boston hobbling was reflected in his time of 4:54:59, his second slowest ever.
"I took it very easy, and I'm very happy," said Musante, who only needed to beat six hours to guarantee an invitation to make it 47 straight next year. "Two weeks ago, I didn't even think I'd be able to finish, but the body is finally healing."
Jim’s wife, Kitty, herself a 12-time Boston competitor, has become a regular in the Saturday Boston 5K two days prior to the marathon. This year, her time of 24:16 placed her fifth, of 128, in the women’s 65-69 age division.
Chris Batista finished the Boston Marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes, and 12 seconds.
The fastest local woman was Shannon Jones from Ormond Beach, with a time of 3:00:18.
