American Keflezighi wins Boston Marathon
American Meb Keflezighi won the Boston Marathon men's title on a day that
was marked by remembrances of the bombings one year ago. He held off Wilson
Chebet at the finish to win in an unofficial time of 2:08.36. Keflezighi,
who will turn 39 next month, was cheered by massive crowds from Hopkinton
to Boylston Street wearing a red and white top and blue shorts. He's the
first American man to win in Boston since Greg A. Meyer in 2:09:00 in 1983,
four years before Keflezighi immigrated to the U.S. The 2004 Olympic silver
medalist was born in Eritrea and lives in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. His last
major marathon victory was the Olympic trials marathon in 2012. He won New
York in 2009.
