Erie teacher Dylan Stevens highlights dozen area runners who finished Boston Marathon

A recently rolled ankle didn't deter Erie's Dylan Stevens from his latest Boston Marathon appearance.

Stevens, 34, was within the first 1,000 runners who completed the 129th edition of the world's oldest existing 26.2-mile race.

The Wilson Middle School teacher, who ran for Edinboro University while a student there, crossed the course's famed Boylston Street finish line in 2 hours, 41 minutes, 51 seconds.

"It's one of the slowest marathons I ever ran," Stevens said. "Having said that, I could tell pretty early on the (ankle) injury I sustained was going to be a factor. It didn't really hurt, but I felt like I was compensating on the right side of body.
