7600 21:21.2 Meb and Abdi. Torres, who got into the meet via petition we believe, leads the "chase" pack or should we call it the dropped pack. 21:53
8k: 22:28.3
8400: 23:38 (?) with mile to go.
8800: 24:50.1 It's coming down to the end and they are slowing down (71) on that one.

9100 Abdi slows it down.
9200: 25:59 with 2 laps remaining. Pack is going quicker 26:31.
9400: 26:36. Still waiting, looks like leaders are jogging. Carney making a big move in pack and Schoolmeister goes with him.
9600: 27:11 at bell. Back pack is blowing it open.
200 Just prior to 200, Abdi looks over his shoulder, they are dead even at 27:42.
10k: Abdi gets him in great finish (28:10)!!!! Meb 2nd. Downin is 3rd. Carney 4th.
They were neck and neck. Meb got ahead just barely with 60 to go and Weldon said "Meb has him" but Abdi came back and they were tied. Abdi pulled ahead with about 15 meters ago. Unreal finish evidently as they were never more than really 1 foot apart - 6 inches most of the time down to the finish. Downin 3rd in 28:34.
Meb is doing a victory lap wearing a volunteer's straw hat.
