NEW YORK (11-Feb)–It was a record-breaking night at the New Balance Track and Field Center at the Armory on Saturday here, with athletes setting American, collegiate and high school records on the Armory’s fast 200m track. It was the first edition of the 105 year-old Millrose Games to be held in the Armory.
In the men’s 5000m, 37-year-old Bernard Lagat broke the U.S. indoor mark for that distance, running 13:07.15, a substantial improvement of four seconds over the previous record held by rival Galen Rupp, who broke Lagat’s 2 mile record in Fayetteville, Ark., tonight.
With his second-place showing in 13:08.28, Lalang broke the American collegiate record that had been held by Galen Rupp since 2009.
Coach Li was thrilled with his athletes’ results and later shared that he had predicted Lagat’s record, showing the press a piece of paper with Lagat’s predicted splits that he had written on the plane ride out to New York City.
