TOP AMERICANS
US men make strong showing (for them)

She stayed the course despite impediments
Before the elite runners stepped to the starting line of yesterday's Marathon, the crowd at the Village Green gave its heart to Katie Lynch, the 28-inch, 35-pound patient advocate at Children's Hospital. Lynch, 26, ran her own marathon in front of an adoring crowd hours before the official race.
Marathon the latest goal in a life of challenges
