In honor of “One Boston Day” and 2013 bombing victim Krystle Campbell, longtime Boston Marathon race director David McGillivray spoke at Medford High School on Wednesday, according to Channel7.

“One Boston Day,” declared by Mayor Marty Walsh, commemorates the second anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings.

McGillivray - a Medford High School alumnus, like Campbell - had not been back to Medford High since his 1972 graduation. But the onetime Medford High valedictorian told Channel7 that he returned to inspire the youth.

“I ran my first Boston Marathon as a 17-year-old senior, here at Medford High School,” he said. “And I’ve run it every year ever since.”
