Defending Champs Back For 2009 Boston Marathon

BOSTON (AP) ― Kenyan runner Robert Cheruiyot will compete for his fourth consecutive Boston Marathon title in 2009.

Dire Tune of Ethiopia will return to defend her title in the women's division April 20.

Cheruiyot won his first Boston Marathon title in 2003, then won the race three consecutive years from 2006-2008. His time of 2:07:14 in 2006 established a new course record.

Dire won in Boston by two seconds over Alevtina Biktimirova of Russia, the closest finish ever in the women's division.
