Boston Marathon winner Meb Keflazighi

Boston Marathon 2014: Meb Keflezighi, UCLA alum, wins men's marathon

The +Pac-12 Conference track champion runs Boston.

For the first time in 31 years, an American man won the Boston Marathon on Monday as UCLA alum Meb Keflezighi crossed the finish line in 2:08:37, 11 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Wilson Chebet.

An American man hadn't emerged victorious at the world's most famous marathon since 1983, when Greg Meyer won the race in 2:09:00.

Keflezighi was downright dominant during his time in Westwood, taking home four NCAA championships in indoor and outdoor track competition. During the 1996-97 season, Meb cleaned up on the podium, earning national titles in both the indoor and outdoor 5K, the outdoor 10K and the cross-country championship.

D8ON!! Dayton High Life is Sixth 11 seed to make the Elite 8

+University of Dayton takes down +Stanford Athletics men's hoops to advance to Elite 8. +Wisconsin Badgers made a statement by really never even giving the hot +Baylor Athletics a glimpse of hope. Badgers simply dominated to moe on to the Elite 8. Dayton will play the winner of the +Florida Gators - +UCLA Bruins and Wisconsin (2 seed) will play the winner of the +Arizona Wildcats - +San Diego State Athletics game. Both 1 seed vs 4 seed match ups.
We'll take the "smart" money on who we had in the national championship game for the last month or so and in a bracket. Gators vs Wildcats, but could it be a night for the 4 seed? Aztecs and UCLA could win these games indeed. Can't wait to see!
