The rain-soaked streets of Boston provided less-than-ideal running conditions, but they were the backdrop for history Monday, as Kalamazoo native Julian Borst became the first Special Olympics Michigan athlete to complete the world’s oldest marathon. One of five Special Olympics athletes running the 2019 Boston Marathon, the 22-year-old Kalamazoo Loy Norrix graduate finished in 3 hours, 5 minutes and 8 seconds for a pace of 7:03 per mile.
