Autistic hoops hero Jason McElwain finishes Rochester marathon, eyes Boston

(CBS/AP) ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The autistic Rochester man who grabbed national headlines by scoring 20 points in four minutes in his only high school game has completed his first marathon and qualified for an even bigger race.

Jason McElwain completed the MVP Health Care Rochester Marathon in 15th place in 3 hours, 1 minute and 41 seconds.

The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that the time Sunday qualifies the 23-year-old supermarket baker, known as J-Mac, for the Boston Marathon. He hopes to run in Boston in 2014.

J-Mac was the student manager of the Greece Athena High School team when coach Jim Johnson put him in the final game of the season in 2006. With four minutes left in the game, McElwain hit six 3-pointers and two free throws.

Video of his scoring spree went viral, and McElwain, who was carried off the court on his teammates' shoulders, became an overnight celebrity. He met then-President George W. Bush and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

"It was one of the best nights of my life, that changed everything," McElwain told CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman in 2010.

While I am pleased to get an update on such a fascinating man as Jason McElwain, I am disappointed that the current video included is not captioned for those with hearing loss. I posted a link to the video of Jason's basketball game to my Facebook and was immediately contacted by my deaf friends asking for a captioned version. Since Jason represents many individuals with disabilities who are successful everyday and also inspires others as well, I hope that this unintentional oversight by CBS News can be corrected. Thanks.
