Ethiopia had a banner day at the Boston Marathon on Monday, as Lemi Berhanu Hayle and Atsede Baysa won the men's and women's titles.It's the first time the country has swept the men's and women's titles in this historic event, the world's oldest annual marathon.
The 120th running of the historic race took place under heavy security, three years after double bombings near the finish line left three dead and at least 264 injured.Leading off this year's marathon were the mobility impaired runners, which included bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet. A professional ballroom dancer, Haslet lost a leg in the bombing three years ago. She is one of 21 survivors competing in this year's race. It's her first time running a marathon.
