BOSTON — Thirteen Lynnfieldians and one Lynnfield native competed in the 121st running of the Boston Marathon on Monday.

Daniel Kelley was the first local resident to cross the finish line in this year’s Marathon. He finished with a time of 2:47.56.

Samantha Albanese, a former cross country star in high school and college, finished second among Lynnfieldians with a time of 3:45.18. Albanese ran for a charity called Bottom Line, an organization which helps low-income and first-generation-to-college students get into high school and college, and counsels them once they’ve graduated.

Kip Sanford finished third among local residents with a time of 4:22.36. Sanford, along with local resident Jessica Griffin, ran in support of the organization Family Aid Boston, a local non-profit organization that provides homeless families with shelter and housing. This was Sanford’s sixth Boston Marathon.

Kristan Murphy was the fourth Lynnfieldian to cross the finish line after concluding this year’s Marathon with a time of 4:27.11. This was Murphy’s eighth Marathon, and she ran with Dana-Farber’s Marathon Challenge team once again.

Lynnfieldian Gina Moschella concluded the Marathon in 4:34.21. Joan Smith was the sixth resident to cross the finish line, and concluded the Marathon with a time of 4:41.48. Andrew Sutherland was seventh and finished the Marathon in 4:53.34.

Melissa Adams concluded the 121st Boston Marathon with a time of 4:54.37. Sarah Motzkin was the ninth local resident to finish the Marathon, and finished the race in 5:01.28. Erika Wilson was the 10th Lynnfieldian to cross the finish line, concluding the Marathon in 5:01.29.

Kelly Furbush finished the Boston Marathon in 5:34.24. Griffin concluded the Boston Marathon in 5:35.05. Kathleen Ciampa, who ran in support of Children’s Hospital, finished the Marathon in 5:49.54.

Lynnfield native and current Naples, Florida resident Danielle Normile also competed in this year’s Marathon. She ran with the Spaulding Race for Rehab Team in honor of her first cousin Dylan Rizzo, who suffered a traumatic brain injury following a car accident in December 2010. She decided to lace up her sneakers and compete in this year’s Boston Marathon because Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital was instrumental in helping Rizzo recover.
