The rain and cold did not disturb the 2010 BAA Elite Mile races, held Sunday morning, April 18, the day before the 114th running of the BAA Boston Marathon. On the men’s side, Andy Baddeley of Great Britain over Markus Genuti of Ethiopia, in 4:08.6. Andy told RBR afterwards that he was both ” pleased and surprised” with his victory. On the women’s side, Morgan Uceny won after battling Sarah Hall and Erin Donahue, among others. One keen observer noted, ” Morgan made her victory look easy”, as Uceny won in 4:31.8.
