Two Island athletes have put in strong performances during this year's Boston Marathon in the USA.

Christa Cain and Simon Scott were those to fly the Manx flag at the event yesterday.

Cain set a time of two hours, 46 minutes and 53 seconds - a personal best over that distance by nearly four minutes.

Meanwhile, Scott also put in a positive display crossing the line in three hours, 26 minutes and 51 seconds - only just over a minute off his personal marathon benchmark.
