Bob Larsen Bob Larsen (born c. 1939) is a Hall of Fame Track and field athletics coach, known largely for coaching distance runners, though he has had success coaching across a full range of events. Larsen is currently a coach at the Mammoth Lakes Mammoth Track Club high altitude training camp. His most notable athlete is Mebrahtom Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic Silver medalist in the Marathon, an accomplishment that ended a 20-year drought in United States distance running medals at the Olympic level (28 years for male athletes). Building on that success, Keflezighi won the men's division of the 2009 New York Marathon, the first American athlete to accomplish that feat since Alberto Salazar did it 27 years before in 1982, and the 2014 Boston Marathon. Previous to that Larsen coached the UCLA Cross Country and then Track teams between 1979 and his retirement in 1999.
