Bernard Lagat shatters American indoor record in 5,000 meters

BOMBASTIC SPORTS: “‘Bernard Lagat set the American record in the indoor 5,000 meters at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games. He thwarted a rally by Ethiopia’s Dejen Gebremeskel with his trademark kick on Saturday. Lagat’s time of 13 minutes, 11.50 seconds eclipsed the previous mark by nearly 7 seconds. The race teased with being fascinating by the fact that Lagat led most of the way, a maneuver he seldom employs.”
