No it is not.

I will do this when I score my first goal in MLS.
Just do it!
But make it look good. This sport is already so boring. Spectators really go for the dramatic flare.

First, I suggest that you make sure you are winning. I bet a quick Google search can show examples of premature celebrating only to lose.
Second, do not be a prick. No throat slashing or making "phone call" sign.
Be genuine not rehearsed. If a NFL player scoring a TD has done it, do not do it.
No showing up the other runners.
Yes. Pick up the nearest baby and carry it across the finish line like a football.

Ooh. I like that idea.
I suggest pulling out the stanky leg.
So am I good if a soccer player has done it?

The best thing is to act like you're broken the tape before.

No. Wrong. As you finish the DMR to win your Indoor Conference championships, you should throw the baton into the stands to your adoring fans while screaming like Alan Webb.
But in all seriousness, if you want to celebrate and make a statement, slow down to a walk as you cross the line and make the sleeping hand motion. Just be prepared to get spiked next race.

I think it often is. It is better to do what is needed to win, and this is more than rarely more than what one thinks is needed. If there is any celebrating, it should be after the win. It is too easy to get pipped otherwise.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone showing some genuine joy at winning, pumping their first or something. Anyone with a problem with that, is a stuffy jackass. You only look dumb or like a jerk if you are doing some elaborate or obviously planned celebration.
If you're fortunate enough to win a race, celebrate after you've crossed the line.
Be yourself. If you have class, it will be apparent. If not, that will be apparent, too.
