Oswald, also a Westlake senior, ran into Buffington's arms after crossing the finish line and seeing the sign.

"He's such a good boyfriend," she said. The couple have been dating for two years.

Buffington said he was nervous as he approached the Westlake High track, and brought along a friend for moral support.

Now, they have a prom date to plan. Westlake's prom is May 19.

"Guess I better go get a tux," Buffington said.
