Erin Strout, "Caroline Rotich is the 2015 Boston Marathon Champion", Runners World, April 20, 2015.
“
'''I’m not an emotional person, but today was huge for me, I’m really proud of myself. You don’t get those moments too often, so I’m going to soak it in, be happy, then go back to being a competitor and try to take that next leap forward in racing down Boylston again. Today’s just as big as 2011 for me.
