Bowman finished with a time of 3:38.04, 20 minutes faster than her first marathon and two minutes under the 3:40 qualifying standard.
Bowman said that running the Boston Marathon, with a field of over 12,000 entrants, was very different from her experience in Rhode Island.
"Boston was a little hillier, and [Rhode Island] was a lot smaller," Bowman said. "There weren't nearly as many people watching [in Rhode Island]. It was kind of like a big party to run in this one."
Bowman said she appreciated her successful race even more because her parents, from North Carolina, were there to cheer her on.
Charlotte W. Houghteling '02 and Sarah E. Reckhow '02, who is a Crimson editor, have not yet qualified officially, but the two were very pleased with their first marathon experience yesterday.
Houghteling said the pair finished in 4:17, three minutes under their goal.
According to Houghteling, the two also had a lot of fun, due in no small part to their affiliation with Harvard.
