The aerospace giant fielded the top-finishing corporate team for the 26.2-mile race, with three entrants finishing first in their divisions and three others placing second in their divisions.

The runners whose scores gave Boeing its second first-place finish in three years were from the former Rockwell and McDonnell Douglas operations, said Kie SooHoo, an optical systems analyst in Anaheim and captain of the Boeing Track Club.
