Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on September 05, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Matt Lane! You're officially another lap around life's track—though we're pretty sure you're still clocking personal bests. From your incredible run representing Team USA at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Beijing to countless middle-distance victories, you've always known how to pace yourself perfectly (except maybe when cake is involved).

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy and success off-track as those thrilling finishes on it. May your celebrations be Olympic-sized—and may any candles blown out today represent only a fraction of all the records you've set ablaze over time. Keep running strong, champ!
