Winning the men's push-rim wheelchair event at the Boston Marathon is a huge accomplishment alone, but being the youngest to ever win it and the first American in 26 years to do so is just icing on the cake for Mount Airy, Md., native Daniel Romanchuk.
Romanchuk, 20, finished the 26.2-mile race in 1:21:36, beating the second-place finisher by nearly three minutes April 15.
"A lot of different emotions and almost too short of a time frame to really express in words," Romanchuk said on Glenn Clark Radio April 16. "It's just an iconic race, it's where the wheelchair marathons got started. I think it's on pretty much everyone's list of races to win. It's just an incredible experience."
