  • I went to high school with Ryan. (1 Grade ahead of me). You would see him everyday after school running. Didn't matter the type of weather either. Pouring rain, hot and humid, middle of a snow storm here in Northern Michigan with the winds whipping around, you would still see him running and in thin clothing. You are missed Ryan even though we never hung out. R.I.P.

  • wow what dedication, inspiring

  • Ryan past away one year to the day my cross country coach past way... way too sad :(

  • He died doing what he loved. I think that´s the best way in which someone can die, I´d really love to die in that way, I mean: running. And I´m sure that many of you would like it, too.

  • I dont think that many people know of this tragedy. It is major loss, to American running and humanity.

  • @vg5157 no problem! i know, right? i just don't understand how come no one assisted him.. he was out for 8 mins!

  • @F10n33 Thanks for the info ,sad history ,so young !! hate when this kind of tragedy happen !!

  • @vg5157 he died of a massive heart attack because of an enlarged heart. his heart stopped for 8min when he collapsed. his heart wasn't working for too long and the doctors couldn't do anything to make his heart beat again.

  • i just bought his racing spikes and am using them in holyrood park this weekend. i hope that they give me good luck, you are very much missed ryan. RIP.

  • I am a runner...49 years old.I`ve always told my family that I don´t want to die in a hospital bed.Better die with my "shoes" on doing what I like to do..like Ryan.But sadly he died waay too early!!!!Sad!!

  • While on his way to winning the New York City marathon yesterday (novemver 11th '09), Meb Keflezighi crossed himself when he ran past the place where Ryan Shay fell. They both won that day
