Boston Marathon Winner Runs with Names of 2013 Bombing Victims
Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflezighi wore the names of the three fatal victims of the 2013 race and the police officer killed three days following last year's bombing at today's 26.2 mile trek.
The victims were 8-year-old Martin Richard, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell and 23-year-old Lu Lingzi. MIT Officer Sean Collier was shot three days after the marathon. More than 260 people were injured during the bombing.
"At the end, I just kept thinking, 'Boston Strong. Boston Strong,'" he told Fox News Sports. "I was thinking give everything you have. If you get beat, that's it."
Keflezighi completed the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to the finish on Boylston Street in Boston's Back Bay on Monday in a personal-best 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds. He held off Kenya's Wilson Chebet, who finished 11 seconds behind.
Keflezighi is the first American to win the race since 1985, when Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach took the women's title in 1985. The last American man to win was Greg Meyer in 1983.
Rita Jeptoo of Kenya defended the women's title she won last year. She finished in course record 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds. She is a three-time Boston Marathon champion, having also won in 2006, according to Fox News Sports.
