Drew Hunter speaks to the media after his win:
While Hunter enjoyed the crowds and atmosphere in Boston this weekend, he's not sticking around to watch the marathon because he has to go to class on Monday. We chatted with him at the press conference about starting school at the University of Colorado this semester; watch the interview video here.
Sifuentes' win today marked her second consecutive title at the B.A.A. Mile. Last year, she established a venue record of 4:33.7. Windy conditions today slowed down the pace—though Sifuentes noted after the race that lack of challengers also impacted the time, as she led wire-to-wire en route to victory.
