Wilman leads USC in game-winning RBIs with six. Boston Marathon ci By The Associated Press BOSTON ? For the first 92 years of the Boston Marathon, no African runner won the race. Ibrahim Hussein of Kenya ended that drought in 1988, beating Juma Ikangaa of Tanzania by one second in the closest Boston Marathon ever. Monday, the 32-year-old Hussein won again, the third victory by an African in the past four years. This time, Hussein won easier than three years ago. Running a smart, controlled race, staying with the lead pack throughout, Hussein was timed in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 6 seconds, beating Abebe Mekonnen of Ethiopia, the 1989 champion, by more than 50 yards. Mekonnen came on last in tne closing miies ana overtook Andy konan of Ireland in the final mile, finishing second in 2:11:22. Ronan was third in a personal-best 2:11:27, while favorite Douglas Wakiihuri of Kenya, winner of three straight marathons over the past two years, wound up sixth in 2:13:30. The women's favorite, Ingrid Kristiansen of Norway, also was badly beaten, losing for the first time after six victories since 1985. The women's 1-2 finish was the same as at the New York City Marathon in November, with Wanda Panfil of Poland the winner in 2:24:18, the second-fastest ever by a woman at Boston, and Kim Jones of Spokane, Wash., the runner-up. It was the first victory by a Polish runner ? man or woman ? in the Boston Marathon. The top two were followed by Uta Pippig of Germany, Joan Benoit *'f" ^ use 1991H Carolina Cares Dorian L.
