Chebet leads 1st Kenyan sweep in Boston Marathon since 2012
Evans Chebet, of Kenya, hits the tape to win the 126th Boston Marathon, Monday, April 18, 2022, in Boston. – Evans Chebet didn’t know what kind of expectations to have for himself as he prepared to return for his second Boston Marathon.His second trip to Boston proved to bring better weather and a result he'll remember forever.
He led a Kenyan sweep across the finish line. The last time Kenya took the top three spots on the podium was 2012. Chebet is the fifth Kenyan to win the race in 10 years. It came just six months after the ongoing pandemic limited the marathon to a much smaller field during the only fall edition in the race’s 126-year history.
Chibet and Geay later broke away from a lead pack of about 20 runners as the group emerged from Heartbreak Hill around Mile 22 as Albertson and Yegon fell back. Albertson ultimately crossed 13th.
