I'd like to see the progression if anyone has it.
I'd like to see the progression if anyone has it.
Anyone?
Ya know...this is harder to search for than it should be as a strict google search comes up nil:
From track and field news (i added Ritz)
12:56.27....Dathan Ritzenhein (Nik) 09
12:58.21 ........ Bob Kennedy (Nik) 96
13:01.15 ....... Sydney Maree (Pum) 85
13:11.25 ...... Adam Goucher (Fila) 99
13:11.77 ..... Meb Keflezighi (Nik) 00

Just to depress everybody, here's the WR progression from wikipedia too. That gap grew fast.

13:22.8 Steve Prefontaine Eugene 09.07.1972
13:22.4 Steve Prefontaine Helsinki 27.06.1973
13:21.87 Steve Prefontaine Helsinki 26.06.1974
13:19.4 Duncan MacDonald Stockholm 10.08.1976
13:16.00 Marty Liquori Zürich 24.08.1977

13:11.93 Alberto Salazar Stockholm 06.07.1982
13:01.15 Sydney Maree Oslo 27.07.1985
12:58.75 Bob Kennedy Stockholm 08.07.1996
12:58.21 Bob Kennedy Zürich 14.08.1996
12:56.27 Dathan Ritzenhein Zürich 28.08.2009
Not sure of George Young, since he and Steve Prefontaine recorded wins in Eugene on the same day.
