This year’s Boston Marathon was the first full-field running of the event during the traditional race day of Patriots Day in Boston since 2019.
Jacksonville's David Scott poses at the 126th Boston Marathon. Scott finished his fourth Boston Marathon on Monday.– You can’t take a three-pointer while the Final Four is being played. You can’t putt the ball during The Masters. And you can’t attempt a field goal during the Super Bowl. But if you qualify, you can run the same race on the same course at the same time as the world’s best at the Boston Marathon.
Maybe something special was in the air for Jacksonville runners. So many of them had great times, many personal records, and bushels of memories. “it’s beautiful. I mean, Boston, for me is like my graduation,” said Jacksonville’s Oliver Ernest, who was one of seven local runners to finish in under three hours. Ernest’s time of 2:52:05 was good enough to place him in the top seven percent of the field.
Ernest’s wife Maricruz, the girls’ cross country coach at Mandarin High school, placed in the top 1500 of female runners with a time of 3:20:52.She completed her second Boston Marathon—third if you count the virtual race she participated in during the pandemic.
