It's been over two decades since an American won the Boston Marathon, but Meb Keflezighi did just that today. Coming in at 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 37 seconds, Keflezighi took home the top prize at the race. This was the first time since 1983 that an American has won the race, and it is a testament to the American spirit that this occurred a year after the Boston Marathon was targeted by terrorists. Rita Jeptoo, from Kenya, took home the top spot for the women's division. Though they didn't win, many others raced today to show their support and respect for those who died and were injured in last year's bombing. In my book, all who participated in this years race are winners simply due to their determination to complete the marathon, especially in light of the tragic events that happened last year.
