About this edition
Runner-up the previous year, Johnny Kelley roared to an impressive first-place finish in 2:32:07. Kelley took the lead in Wellesley, while defender Dave Komonen dropped out shortly thereafter. On his way to a two- minute, four-second victory over Pat Dengis of Maryland, Kelley stopped briefly one mile from the finish in Kenmore Square, overcome with nausea. He ran the final mile to victory.
