Boston Marathon men’s winner Meb Keflezighi says he’s received a lot of kudos since Monday’s race, but one stands out.

“I have received many congratulatory calls, but I just received THE call from President @barackobama,” tweeted Keflezighi.

Keflezighi is the first American to win the men’s Boston Marathon since 1983.
