The next year, she won the women's wheelchair division of the Chicago Marathon and in 2023, she won the same division in the Boston Marathon. Last month, Scaroni returned to that race and is now a two-time Boston Marathon winner. She joins the program today to discuss the experience and other highlights from her career.
