Meb Keflezighi

Today a U.S person won the New York Marathon! His name was Meb Keflezighi. The second person to cross the finish line for the U.S was Ryan Hall. Demarto Tulu won the race for the women. The first women from the U.S to cross was Magdelina Boulet. It was a miraculous day for Meb Keflezighi. He almost quit running from lots of injuries but he stuck with it. The last American to win the ING New York Marathon was 39 years ago! A lot of runners supported charities.
