Proud mother Baz Powell of West Marlborough reports that her daughter, Flere Powell Bomba (UHS class of 1974), ran in the Boston Marathon and "had a ball." Her ankles started bothering her at Mile 18, so after that she ran a bit and then walked a bit, completing the 26-mile race in 4 hours and 42 minutes. "The family was very proud," said her mother.
Baz says that although Flere will still complete in shorter races, it's her last marathon because "really, where are you going to run after Boston?" Flere, a mother of two, lives in eastern Lebanon County.
