Hinsdale's Alli Mason got new wireless earbuds to supply songs for her strides during her first Boston Marathon on April 18. From the start, however, she found that much of her playlist was drowned out by the raucously supportive crowds along the 26.2 mile-route. "You could not make the music loud enough," Mason said. "There was not one inch of the course where there not balloons and people shouting and cheering. It was nuts." A Boston native, she was urged in 2019 by her brot...
