Kara Goucher 5th at Boston Marathon

Duluth native Kara Goucher finished 5th among women at today's 115th Boston Marathon.

Goucher clocked at PR 2:24:50 with the assistance of whipping tailwind.

Caroline Kilel of Kenya won women's race in 2:22:36; American Desiree Davila was a close second in a PR 2:22:40.

2009 Minnesota Runner of the Year Jen Houck finished 18th among women in 2:34:28.

Geoffery Mutai won the men's race with the fastest marathon time ever run -- 2:03:02. The time will not be considered the world record, however, due to the net-downhill nature of the Boston Marathon course.

American Ryan Hall finished 4th among men in a PR 2:04:58.
