It’s a small, but touching detail from the AP:

Meb Keflezighi, who gave the Boston fans their first American men’s champ in more than three decades, wore the names of four victims on his running bib.

Written in marker in small, neat letters in each corner were Krystle, Lingzi, Martin and Sean.

Here’s a closer look at his bib.
