Honoring Meb: What was your favorite moment his career?

The UCLA man, Meb, has had so many highlights it's hard to choose.

2014 Boston 1st, 2009 NYC 1st, 2005 Boston 3rd, 2004 NYC 2nd, 2004 Athens 2nd.... jeeze

When he emphatically tossed his hat off late in the 2004 Olympic marathon.

The first race I watched on TV was the 2004 marathon (had just started running) and I had the same thought as Jon Gault.

I admire how he never got caught.

Yeah, Boston for sure. Talked with him after the showing of City Slickers at '16 Trials in Eugene and told him that he and Kip were messing up the age graded standards for all the Masters runners coming up behind him. Does anybody have a bad word to say about him???

Remember that time he won Footlocker?

In 2014, I was at work but, being that I work at a college, I was able to stream the Boston Marathon... Just before students were due to arrive, I was able to see Meb's finish as the winner. As a San Diegan for most of my life, I was and still am very happy for Meb. Since the early 1990s, I have followed Meb and his results, wondering who this ke -fle-ZIGGY was. I would later see that it was ke Fless gee....and see his talents. Meb will always be on the absolute top of my favorite athletes.

We wanted to let the New York hoopla die down a bit before we gave Meb's career a proper look back. We share our favorite thoughts of Meb here in the article below.

There has only been one constant in the running world in the existence of LetsRun.com and that is excellence from Meb Keflezighi. Meb won his first Olympic Trials in 2000, the first year of LetsRun.com. 17 years later he still is displaying excellence. It's been an honor racing, covering, and just being in awe of his career. Thank you Meb.
