Their times may have not been what they wanted in the Boston Marathon, but Meb Keflezighi found a way to make his and another top American runner’s finish memorable.

When Boston-based runner Hilary Dionne found herself close to the end of the marathon, she was surprised by Keflezighi, who grabbed her hand in triumph as the two ran across the finish line.

Dionne finished 15th in the women’s division of the marathon with an unofficial time of 2:40:42. Keflezighi, the 2014 winner, finished eighth in the men’s division with an unofficial time of 2:12:42.

The elite women begin about half an hour before the elite men, which is why the two were around the finish line at the same time.
