To the Editors of The Crimson:

Your coverage of the Boston Marathon results Tuesday disturbed me. Shattering the women's world marathon record by nearly three minutes is no small feat--surely Joan Benoit deserved more than a sub-headline and just two paragraphs buried in the middle of your story.

I hope in the future your sports department will be more professionally objective in coverage of women's athletics. Sara G. Shields '84
