The American women’s domination of Monday’s 122nd Boston Marathon had people hurriedly searching for information on the top finishers, then reporting the results on social media.

For a time, a few on Twitter reported that Nicole DiMercurio was Canadian. Before it was corrected, another post followed with what a great day it was for Canadian running.

It may have been, but it was even better for the American women. And for Gwinnett County running.
