In doing so, she became a part of Boston Marathon lore, as one of the collective students who make this stretch of the course one of the high points in marathon history. During those four years, she embraced each and every Marathon Monday as a celebration of spirit and of the hearts and souls of its competitors. I wouldn t miss it for anything. I love being out here with all my Wellesley sisters and supporting the runners. I ve always been totally amazed at the hard work and the dedication that all these people put in to compete.
Today is a celebration of that.
Around 4 p.m., when the final few runners were passing by, though, four years of support for all those runners was pretty much in the history books. Yet having seen so many marathons over the years, DiDonato still hopes to someday run in one. Maybe next year I ll get to run the through The Scream Tunnel. This is a very special place, this Wellesley College. And not just because its one of the top academic institutions in New England or because of its impressive mix of gothic and contemporary architecture that surrounds the campus is breathtaking.
