In a cross country race, his opponent, Abel Mutai, who was ahead of him, misunderstood where the finish line was. Instead of using this confusion to pass him, Anaya pointed out that he still had a few yards to go, and took second place behind him. Anaya recognized that his opponent deserved to win.

This team was playing a match, and a player on the other team was wearing a hijab (a head covering worn by some muslim women). During a play, this woman’s hijab came off, and the opposing team’s players gathered around her so she could put her hijab back on in privacy. This team respected this woman’s religion and values even if they didn’t share them.
