So after a 27 year drought, an American won the 2009 ING New York City Marathon today. That man is none other than Meb Keflezighi. The 2004 Olympic silver medalist was plagued with injury in his right hip after the 2008 U.S Olympic Trials Marathon that almost ended his running career. Since bouncing back from his injury, Meb has claimed the U.S Cross Country National crown, a new marathon PR of 2:09.21 and half marathon PR of 61 minutes. He also took down the U.S. 20k record en route to his half marathon PR.

Below are some photo’s of Meb from some recent races I was fortunate enough to cover.
