Awesome moments in history
Awesome
moments in history -- In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to
run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race
organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of
my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and
other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire
marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and
Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
