Boston Marathon Bombing: 5 Muskego Runners Entered Race

Two explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon had people carrying bloody spectators into the medical tent set up for runners, according to an Associated Press report on the Pocono Record website.

"There are a lot of people down," the AP quoted one man saying. The explosions happened about three hours after the winners crossed the finish line. 

Reuters is reporting there are no indication how may people are injured, according to a story on the Chicago Tribune website, which also said the explosions happened as people were cheering on those still completing the race.

NBC News reported fire engines, police and emergency medical personnel were headed to the scene. An affiliate reporter told NBC News she heard two loud explosions, and that "everybody kind of ducked and hit the ground," and Jackie Bruno, reporter for New England Cable News said she saw people with significant injuries, including one person with a leg blown off.

"Runners were coming in and saw unspeakable horror," Bruno said.  

Patch is following this breaking story.

The Boston Athletic Association website lists the following Muskego entrants:

• Tracey Cavanaugh
• Nicki Inman (4:01:43)
• Chris Pollack (3:41:46) 
• Lucille Spoerk (3:54:34)
• Luai Tabbal (3:18:31)

All but Cavanaugh have finish times recorded on the Boston Marathon website; Cavanaugh had no times posted. 

Nadia Tabbal, whose father crossed the finish line prior to the explosion , said he had already contacted the family.

"He is doing fine - he called shortly after. He didn't talk with us for long, but did tell us that getting out of the area after the explosion took forever," she said.

Lucy Spoerk has also been interviewed previously by Muskego Patch; she is an avid marathoner but we were unable to reach anyone in her family.
