When identical twin sisters Kim and Michelle Krezonoski were invited to compete against some of the world’s most elite female runners at last week’s Boston Marathon, they were in disbelief.
“We were like, ‘Wow, did they make a mistake. Did they send out like a wrong email,’” Kim said with a laugh.
The twins were among about 60 women who competed in the pro field, including winner Hellen Obiri, who won the women’s division with a time of two hours, 22 minutes, and 37 seconds. The sisters were also the first twins in the marathon’s history to compete in the women’s pro field. The pair said they fell in love with running at a young age and continued on with it throughout college.“We were looking for routine, like a lot of people were during the pandemic, and turned to running again,” Michelle said.
