BOSTON (AP) — Marcel Hug of Switzerland vaulted to the front of the field and cruised to win his ninth Boston Marathon wheelchair title, claiming the victory Monday in the 130th edition of the race in 1 hour, 16 minutes, 6 seconds.

Hug’s fourth consecutive win in Boston puts him into second place all-time in Boston men’s wheelchair history, behind only South African great Ernst van Dyk’s record 10 titles between 2001 and 2014. American racer Daniel Romanchuk was second in 1:22:44, followed by Jetze Plat of the Netherlands in 1:24:13.
