BOSTON, MA - A pair of Ethiopians were crowned 2016 Boston Marathon champions, and tens of thousands more were winners Monday afternoon on Boylston Street.

Lemi Berhanu bested defending champ Lelisa Desisa in the men’s race, finishing at 2:12:45, very modest for a Boston-winning time. Desisa, also from Ethiopia, ran a 2:13:32, while a third countryman, Adhane Tsegay, clocked a 2:14:02.

For the first time since 1986, a Massachusetts native finished in the men's top 10. Zachary Hines, a South Hadley native who lives in Dallas, finished 10th with a time of 2:21:37.

Atsede Baysa of Ethiopia won the women's division at 2:29:18. Both Baysa and Hayle are hoping their victories earn them a spot on the Ethiopian Olympic team.

The elite women were guaranteed have a new champion when defending champion Caroline Rotich of Kenya dropped out at around the 7K mark, due to a reported ankle injury. She was one of over 2,200 runners to receive medical treatment Monday, according to Boston Emergency Management Services Chief James Hooley.

The first winner of Marathon Monday crossed the finish line with a little bit of company and a whole lot of drama.

Marcel Hug, in the men's wheelchair division, narrowly held off 10-time champion Ernst Van Dyk and Kurt Fearnley in a classic finish. Hug crossed the finish line in 1 hour, 24 minutes, 1 second, about a chair's length ahead of Van Dyk and Fearnley, who crossed in a photo finish.

Tatyana McFadden won Boston's women's wheelchair division for the fourth straight time. She finished in 1:42:16, afterward celebrating with the family of Martin Richard, the youngest fatality in the 2013 bombings.

Part of the beauty of the Marathon is that not everyone needs to cross the finish line, or even run, to feel like they accomplished something. Sometimes just being there is enough.

Judy Mackey, up from Atlanta to support her son Ty Ragan, was swept up in the moment.

"Brings a lot of pride because you've got people from all over the world," Mackey said after Ty finished in 3 hours 12 minutes. "You know of Boston because of the Marathon."

Jennifer and Steve Strongman came from Toronto to support a friend who ended up not running. Still, it was some experience.

"It's amazing," said Steve. "We feel like Bostonians for the day."
