• I'll review this. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 02:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Overall: Nice work @ Habst:. The only issue is that there needs to be a citation at the end of the following paragraph: As the race advanced through Framingham and Natick, Hughson had built up a lead but was still closely tailed by Caffrey. 45 minutes in, Hughson passed the Natick town hall about 100 yards (91 m) ahead of Caffrey. McDonald at this point was 75 yards (69 m) behind Caffrey, and Sammy Mellor and Davis were running in fourth and fifth 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) behind McDonald. (Every paragraph needs to have a citation for DYK). BeanieFan11 ( talk) 02:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC) reply
